Men D2 2023 Rankings Week 5
Well we really wanted to make some significant changes in these rankings and ... we couldn't, really.
Far too many of the higher-ranked teams beat lower-ranked teams. So, not much change, really.
As we've mentioned in a few places, we had a mistake (our mistake, not anyone else's) in a score that prompted us to drop Bloomsburg out of the Top 40 last week. We were wrong to do that and, guess what? Bloomsburg showed us how wrong by beating #24 Bucknell. Nice. Bloomsburg moves in, and up.
Scranton moves up a bit, and two straight rough losses mean we drop UMass Lowell down. And since Lowell tied with UNH, who also lost, they drop down, too.
As a reminder, teams that don't report their scores or make it difficult to find their scores often find themselves drifting down. When we at GRR make repeated efforts to get information on a team (even one we're pretty sure is good) and we don't get a response, we have no choice but to move them down.
Thank you to everyone (and there are many of you) who help us learn about these teams.
