Men DII College Rankings
Well we have some shakeups in this week's D2 rankings.
Wins over ranked or at the very least strong teams moved several teams up and bumped Grand Valley down. No criticism of GVSU but there is a bit of the "what have you done for me lately?" aspect here. Having said that, we think #5 through to around #18 are pretty close.
This was a relatively quiet D2 weekend because of the long weekend, but we did get some results that prompted some changes.
The top five or six (or more) are making themselves known, and it's basically teams that win consistently and win by large margins.
Usually these top-ranked teams also hold the opposition to not very much. That's basically why the teams ranked in the top eight are ranked there.
We actually have a video talking about some of the major movers on this week's rankings.
Overall, though, we see the top-ranked teams (for the most part) win convincingly. The teams ranked 12 or so to maybe 25 are those that are either winning against teams that aren't ranked, or haven't really got going yet. We usually have a nagging question about them one way or another.
The big results within the GRR Men's D2 Rankings environment have to be North Carolina State shutting out UNC-Wilmington and Washington University beating St. Louis University.
That would be a #20 over a #7 and a non-ranked team over a #24. We also got unranked Central Missouri over UMS&T (#23) and unranked Grand Valley State coming in after a massive win over Calvin.
