College Men
While GRR's #1 Kentucky and #9 Virginia Tech are both idle this weekend, our #2 through #8 are all in action.
OK ... #4 Tennessee's game has been understandably canceled seeing as it was against Florida, and there's this hurricane ravaging the state so we won't be seeing any teams traveling much as the people dig out from the devastation.
There is not Small College division in NCR anymore, but really there still is; it's just called D3.
Still when we're talking about "last year" or anything historical, we're talking about NCR's Small College competition. And this year, we're talking about D3.
Big games in men's D2 college are as follows:
New Hampshire at Vermont. Northwestern at Chicago. Whitewater vs Marquette. Towson vs Salisbury. Weber State at Montana State.
Fully a dozen teams moved four or more spots this week.
The reason for that is we finally saw some teams with strong preseason rankings hit a speed bump. Oddly, while we move three teams out of the Top 10, only one of those teams lost. Virginia tied D3 team Hampden-Sydney; Georgetown beat Salisbury (but in a very close game), and then Villanova lost to Scranton.
Colorado State remains on top of the Rocky Mountain Conference after another victory over the weekend.
Now, this is still in progress and BYU (now 1-0 after a 67-3 win over Utah State) and Air Force (now 2-0) are also unbeaten.
