GRR: College Men
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.
In 95-degree heat Saturday in Ruston, La. Southeastern Louisiana University won their third game of the season, defeating the Louisiana Tech University Bulldogs 41-22 at Tech’s famous “The Joe” Stadium.
This game was for the Magnolia Cup challenge trophy between the two.
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.
Principia laid down a bit of a marker over the weekend, but there's more doing on among Gateway Conference teams than just that.
It's still early days in the Great Midwest but a couple of teams are making their presence known.
For Northern Michigan, this was a big weekend as they held off Wisconsin-Platteville 20-15. It was a tough game for sure, and a defensive one.
