GRR: Men DI Rankings
Well is Army really the #1 team in the fall?
Until they lose, probably. They certainly looked their unflinching, pitiless best against St. Bonaventure over the weekend.
The only change in the top 12 is BYU easing ahead of Life thanks to a really strong outing against both Colorado and Colorado State.
Our latest All-D1-Fall-Only ranking sees very little change near the top but a lot of movement in the middle.
Our task in this ranking is to recognize that D1A, NCR D1, and both CRAA D1AA and NCR D1AA all play across boundaries. Ohio State played Bowling Green this past weekend. St. Bonaventure played Virginia Tech. Davenport played Iowa Central.
A reminder that we are ranking only those D1A, NCR D1, and D1AA teams that are playing significant seasons in the fall.
Some of these teams will be ranked both in the fall and the spring, while others will only be ranked in the fall and then at our overall end-of-season ranking.
Well this is a strange all-D1 rankings week as they sort some things out.
We decided to bring together all of the D1A, NCR D1, D1AA, and NCR D1AA-Club teams into one ranking. The only limit is that we're ranking teams that are schedule to play a significant fall season (so one or two games don't really count).
One of the key things to remember in the early going on rankings is that teams can move very dramatically on admittedly flimsy evidence.
