GRR: College Men
It's been interesting to see how teams and players step up in cross-divisional games and more challenging games.
How a player steps into the fray when playing a team that is heavily favored or a big challenge is how we, over time, find special competitors. We do have some standouts in blowout games, but it's the close games we notice more.
The last few weeks we've seen several Men's DII players make an extra-big impact.
It's time for out Gamebreakers for DII players in September.
Aubrey Aird, GeorgetownA big attacking No. 8 who can break off huge runs, Aird has kicked off the season well for the Hoyas.
Nothing too shocking in the top 10, and really the top 15 in this week's D1A rankings. Army might slide down further once more teams get going, but right now they and Penn State hover just outside the top 10.
Utah State's fairly emphatic win over an admittedly depleted Colorado gets them into the Top 25. Air Force, which hung tough with CSU, is in, as well.
Well you see what happens when you've got a busy week.
We did our rankings for NCR D1 last week and then ... forgot to publish them. So all of the excitement of St. Bonaventure becoming #1 never materialized. Oh well. This week? Bonnies consolidates their place, having now beaten Army and Penn State. Notre Dame College, having tied Army, also anchors themselves at #4.
Well we really wanted to make some significant changes in these rankings and ... we couldn't, really.
Far too many of the higher-ranked teams beat lower-ranked teams. So, not much change, really.
