GRR: Men DI Rankings
We were all set to make major changes this week and instead ... well, the rankings were backed up.
Penn State one spot ahead of UMW? Penn State wins by a try.
Life #2 and Lindenwood #4? Life wins by four points.
We made a silly mistake last week but we've fixed it, and we also had to reverse our own logic; let's dive into it.
We dropped Fresno State down below Cal Maritime last week. That was a dumb error—Fresno State had already beaten the Keehaulers. We just over-reacted to a big loss by Fresno, which is something we at GRR World Headquarters have to keep an eye on.
This week saw most teams in D1A put together results that were, in general, expected.
University of San Diego did about as much as you'd hope for a #1 to stay #1, winning in convincing fashion over a Fresno State team that we had at #12.
While we don't have a ton of changes at the top of the D1A rankings, we do have a change at #1.
Cal moves up to #1 after a shutout win over Arizona. Remember, Arizona held Saint Mary's to a 12-10 Gael victory, and we're thinking that if you factor that in with a 24-22 Life win over Saint Mary's, and the fact that Life also beat Navy, we kind of have to make the move.
