We developed a formula to rank the top 25 athletes in NCAA Division I track and field based on who will make the most impact at the 2016 NCAA Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Oregon. FloTrack's Week 6 Power Rankings have some big changes.

After not updating the rankings for two weeks, there have been many changes to the top 25 on both the men's and women's sides. On the men's side we see the rise of Northern Arizona's Futsum Zienasellassie to #7 after his impressive 27:52 10k performance at Payton Jordan. On the women's side Arkansas' Dominique Scott moved up to #2 after her 10k performance at Payton Jordan and her potential triple attempt at NCAAs.
