GRR: Men DI Rankings
Not a lot of changes in our DIA Rankings this week.
In the end, everyone did just about what the rankings would expect. Cal is a great example of that. Ranked #5 by GRR and #4 by the entire DIA voting process, Cal beat #7 Army a week ago 31-14, and then lost to #1 Navy 33-28. Central Washington, ranked #2 by GRR, beat Army 36-14.
We've been a bit quiet about ranking D1A teams this winter/spring but here's an update.
Right now Navy remains atop the rankings but there are teams circling. Key among them may well be Cal, but we could also point to Central Washington. We wanted to get these rankings out before CWU hosts Army on Wednesday just so we'd potentially have a reason to change them again.
This past fall we conducted a rankings experiment, ranking DIAA and NCR D1 and D1A teams all together.
Well that was quick, wasn't it.
We were on a break, right? Seemed like it was just a month ago ... OK it was a month ago ... still ... the break between the CRAA Fall Classic and ... umm ... now seems to have gone quickly.
We wrap up our All-D1 Fall ranking and it's been a bit of an experiment.
The longtime conventional wisdom has been that there's some crossover between D1A and D1AA teams (meaning some D1AA teams are stronger than some D1A teams). And with the development of NCR's D1, which includes teams that play in D1A conferences, that's also thought to be true.
