Men DII College Rankings
Not a lot of D2 games this week but there were a few.
Northern Iowa goes 1-2 in the Middle of the Map tournament but that wasn't a bad performance at all. All of their opponents were D1 teams and they were competitive in all games. So, yes, it's a tournament (so not super rankings important) but still good enough.
Let's be honest here, we're making a guess.
Right now this is a starting point based on last year, and a little sense of what's going to happen this year.
After the national semifinals and final we spent some time looking at past results and crossover results and tried to go at our rankings with an eye to taking them apart.
We always say that the playoffs will clarify the rankings and we'd like that, but sometimes it seems they muddle things, too.
We didn't see too many of the Top 10 in action this week but about 14 ranked #10 to #35 did play.
As we have always said, the playoffs always shake up the rankings. When so few D2 teams play outside their conference it remains difficult to judge the level of play.
