With several of the Top 10 idle the weekend in part came down to whether the Charlotte Tigers looked at all vulnerable playing two games in Florida—no they didn't.
The Tigers won easily of the Florida Jaguares select side and the Jacksonville Wolverines, and retain their #1 ranking.

The biggest move up has to be Vienna, which is a team we could have moved up a week ago, but you know we tend to be somewhat conservative when it comes to head-turning results. Vienna was close with Fort Hunt, but we needed them to back it up. In the end, a convincing win against a league opponent did the trick. Had Vienna won, say, 29-24, we would have kept them in the 40s. Instead, Vienna jumps 17 spots to #29.
Other teams saw small incremental moves up or down. Raleigh beat the same two opponents as did Charlotte, but by smaller numbers, and move up two places. Danville and SFGG move up one—we actually suspect SFGG is stronger than injury-plagued Danville now, but Danville's close win over SFGG remains in effect. Coming in thanks to notable victories are Albert Lea out of Minnesota, Gridley out of Northern California, and (belatedly) Layton Christian out of Utah.
