10.16.2025Rankings
Northwestern wins a lineout in 2023.

The holiday weekend slowed down a couple of conferences in Men's D2 college, and it, apparently, slowed us down, too, as we didn't get these rankings updated until Thursday.

So we're about 24 hours past our drop-dead deadline. That's in part because we've been working on finalizing the website redesign, which put us behind.

The major movers include Northwestern, Salisbury, and Marist rejoins the Top 40.

Weirdly we don't have a lot of major rankings clashes coming up this weekend. But we do have two. Northwestern vs Chicago might be THE game of the GMW South, and RPI vs Cornell is probably a Liberty decider.
