Built Because No Standard Existed

College Esports Ranks was created because there was simply no legitimate way to determine which universities had the best esports programs in Canada or the United States. The articles and lists that claimed to rank the "Top 10 College Esports Programs" were largely inaccurate, paid placements, or opinion pieces with no real data behind them.

We built CER to change that. Every ranking on this site is derived purely from official competitive placements in the top collegiate leagues across six tracked titles. If your school competed and placed, it shows up here. No opinions, no sponsorships, no guesswork.

It is important to note that these rankings reflect competitive performance only. They are not a measure of the overall esports program experience at a school. Factors like campus facilities, esports arenas, scholarship offerings, or community culture are not part of the score. CER measures one thing: how well a school's teams compete.

There is no 100% perfect formula for measuring a program's competitive success, but we believe our approach is the most fair and transparent one available. We are always open to refining the methodology as the collegiate esports landscape evolves.

Have a Question or Correction?

The fastest way to get in touch with us is through Twitter/X direct messages. Send us a DM at @CERanks if you have any questions or would like to request changes to your team's logo, social media handle, or any stats that appear incorrect on the website.

We respond to every message and treat each correction request seriously — accuracy is the foundation of these rankings, so if you spot something off, we want to hear about it.

When reporting a correction, please include your school name, the specific stat or detail that's off, and (if possible) a link to official results or your program's page so we can verify and update quickly.
