Week 4 of the Goff Rugby Report Men's DII College Rankings sees no change in the top five, but some movement elsewhere.
Fairfield keeps beating good teams and jumps up to #6. Vermont jumps from nowhere to #10 because ... OK because we forgot to include them last week (!). So that's just a correction. Vermont plays Rhode Island (#7) in Oct 18 and against a week later, so we'll see where they stand after that.
Old Dominion drops down after a loss to #3 James Madison, as JMU solidified #3.
Colorado College vaulted to #12 after defeating St. Louis, while SLU slips a little. Saginaw Valley State vaults into #21 after beating ranked Grand Valley State, and fairly convincingly. And finally we have added a few more teams to expand the rankings to 50. Some have important games to play to secure a spot in these rankings. York, RPI, and SUNY Oneonta are all teams to watch.
