Men DII College Rankings 2014-15 #3
Goff Rugby Report's latest Men's DII College Rankings are in.
We have expended the rankings to 40, and will likely expand them to 50 when all is said and done.
Teams that have dropped out did so because they lot more than once, or lost to teams we don't rank or aren't close to being ranked. Some teams in the current rankings (Louisiana-Lafayette, IUP, for example) have lost but to ranked or almost-ranked teams, and the losses were close. There is no change at the omentin the top nine, but after that we've got several changes. Cortland jumps in at #15, which might be a little generous, but they have the opportunity to earn it. Fairfield moves up to #10 and we think they might move up further.
Winona, UW-Stout, Vassar, Rowan, Salve Regin, Furman, East Carolina, VMI and Louisiana Tech are all big movers up.
