Men D2 College Rankings 2025 Final Week

The penny dropped for us after the second round of playoffs so we're not all that impressed with ourselves.

Vermont was clearly the #1 team in the country. It took us until our penultimate rankings to cotton on to that. However, we had UNC-Wilmington #1 for a while and we'll take credit for that because no team was close to Vermont all season. No one.

Except the Seahawks.
