GRR: Men DI Rankings
This was a wild week in D1AA and that's why this ranking comes out late.
We had so many important decisions to make.
As often happens with these rankings, anyone doing the rankings, at least those of us who use subjective methods, have to guard against over-reacting to one result.
No changes except one.
The #1 team, Queens, lost, and the #2 team, Brown, won a tough game ... perhaps their toughest of the season. We have to move Brown up to #1.
Queens stays high at #2 because they're still a very, very good team; they just ran up against an improving team on the road.
We get some questions about merging our D1A and NCR D1 rankings, and we might be discussing that soon, but as we think about that it becomes clear to us that, at least right now, there are two teams significantly stronger than the rest.
And guess what? They're #1 and #2.
Well ... whaddayaknow ... our #2 lost; our #5 lost (to an unranked team, no less).
That's going to shake things up, no?
Louisville lost by a single point to a very good Bowling Green, and we'd be forgiven if we had just elevated BGSU to #2.
But we didn't.
Both the Falcons and the Cardinals are hovering in the Top 5, but now it's all up in the air.
