Men D1AA Rankings Week 5 25-26

Well, well, well.

So we have many changes. Most obvious is the #1 spot. Kentucky has done just fine, and we commend them for their tough schedule, and we also recognize that their game against Indiana really could have gone either way. But ... if you're not going to give a team like Louisville a shot at #1 after they thump both Bowling Green and Western Michigan, when would you?

Men NCR D1 Rankings Week 5 2025

We noticed we had something kind of weird here.

Michigan lost to Rio Grande, but we don't have Rio Grande in the rankings. Michigan also lost to Aquinas, and we do have Aquinas in the rankings, but below Michigan. Now, some would say that is, to coin a technical term, a "mistake."

Men D2 College Rankings 2025 Week 3

Well, here we go. Strength of schedule has a significant influence on the rankings and we kind of suspected that UNC Wilmington's difficult run of opponents might help them.

Of course, a lightning-halted game meant we couldn't hinge a ranking on that result ... we had to wait. This week's win over ranked Virginia boosts the Seahawks to #1.

Men NCR D1 Rankings Week 4 2025

Did St. Bonaventure do enough to retain the #2 ranking?

Well, when #2 plays #4 on the road and #2 wins by 3 points, we'd say that fits right into where they seem to be.

Men D1AA Rankings Week 4 25-26

Kentucky was going to hold onto #1 if they won one game ... so they won two just to make sure.

This week's rankings see us drop Bowling Green down and move Louisville up after the Cardinals beat the Falcons. BG drops four spots, which is a lot, but part of that is because we think Iowa and Iowa State both did good things. Tennessee is lurking, too.
