Men D1AA College Rankings Week 6
Not too many of the higher-ranked teams were in action this past weekend, but other ranked teams were.
Nebraska lost big to Iowa, the Florida team are now in action and Florida beat South Florida, and Princeton lost.
Liberty Update as Playoffs Loom in D1, D1AA
It's already time to think about the playoff scenarios in some conferences, and since the Liberty has multiple levels, let's look at them.

D1AA Games: Time to Hold On Tight
So we separated the DIAA games from the D1A and NCR D1 because now that we're into the conference schedule there's less crossover with the other divisions, and we've also got a lot going on.

Cincinnati Stays in the Mix in the MAC

In a conference that looks to be pretty competitive even including the teams who haven't won games, there does appear to be an almighty race for playoff spots. Louisville (3-0) and Bowling Green (3-0), are certainly secure (and they meet up October 21), and Western Michigan is still around at 2-1.
