Men DII College Rankings 2014-15 #2
Goff Rugby Report has updated its Men's DII College Rankings, expanding the list from 25 to 30 as more teams have started their season.
Among the major events and moves since the preseason rankings were unveiled:
Bryant, Coast Guard, and Niagara all lost games and were dropped from the rankings. However, keep an eye out for all.
Winona gets a bit of a pass despite losing to Northern Iowa due to some injuries, and we're kept them in for at least one more cycle. UNI jumps in.
Eight teams jump into the rankings, with Norwich the highest at #10 after they beat Coast Guard. Fairfield jumps in at #13 after an excellent start to the season, while the aforementioned UNI is at #16, and New Jersey Institute of Technology is in at #15 after a start almost as impressive as Fairfield's. Principia drops due to an underwhelming win over SIU Carbondale, while Winona moves down because of the loss to UNI.
At the top, the top teams did what was expected. But we do have one team that really shoots up, and that's Old Dominion. After handily beating Radford, which is always good, ODU goes from #17 to #6.
