GRR: Men DI Rankings
This was an entertaining NCR D1 ranking to update, but also a tough one to work on.
Some major moves this week.
There were only three games where both teams involved were ranked D1AA teams. We had a non-ranked team (Columbia) beating a ranked team (Binghamton). We had a D1AA team beat a D1A-level team (Sam Houston State over Texas A&M), and a team that tied a NCR D1 team (Tennessee).
Whie some teams performed as expected we do have some shifts in the first post-results rankings for D1A.
McKendree and Ohio State move into the Top 25 after impressive victories. Army and Penn State nudge up. We did consider moving both Mary Washington and Mount St. Mary's up, but given that both have big games ahead we'll wait.
The first two weeks of action was relatively quiet but we did get some results that showed us where we have it right, and where we have it wrong.
Expect much more action to come in the next few weeks. But we didn't see anything that blows up the rankings ... not yet. We do expect some significant shifting in the 25-35 rankings.
As we said in our opening rankings, expect some changes.
