Men D2 College Rankings Fall 2026 Week 8
Everyone in the top 12 won games.
Six of those wins were against ranked opposition.
So, for the most part, the teams in that region of the rankings don't move ... much ... however, Chicago's emphatic win over a Marquette team that had been playing well prompts us to move them to #2.
Boston University also moves up because they just keep winning in a tough conference.

Men D2 College Rankings Fall 2026 Week 7
Wow, what a weekend in D2.
We had seven games between ranked teams, including some conference playoffs.
Of those, one was a tie even though the teams weren't that close in the rankings. One result was a fairly lopsided result between teams ranked close. The result were won by the higher-ranked team. We also had another result which was a forfeit win.
