Men D2 College Rankings 2024 Week 7

Memphis holds tight to #2.

We've talked about this before but it bears repeating—there's a haves and have-nots sense of the men's D2 college scene this year.

There is not a ton of movement and no movement at all amongst the top 15.

Towson edges up closer to Salisbury after a close loss there. Miami drops down mostly because we haven't seen them do much while other teams are playing and winning. 

We talk a little about Coastal Carolina here: 

Coastal Carolina a Dark Horse out of the South?

And they move into our Top 40. 

But this Top 16 or so we know will be playoff teams and we think that probably three of the Top 4 will make the national semis. We're not sure about UNC-W and they could trip up depending on where they fall in the bracket. Vermont, we think, will likely edge into that top 4.
