College Men
Not a lot of changes in our NCR D1 rankings so we'll be relatively brief.
Iona of course moves ahead of Dartmouth after beating Dartmouth.
Everyone else, for the most part, did as expected.
We think Southern Nazarene is doing well and deserves a bump up. And Michigan beat #20 Notre Dame and moves into that spot.
That's about it.
NCR has 18 spots for the Men's D2 college playoffs, and we're here to talk about who might lay claim to those spots.
Yes, indeed it's still quite early and the play-in round is a month away, but that just means that conference that have playoffs are starting to think about all of that now.
Here goes:
Should we have moved Life up to #3 or #2?
We thought about it. We thought about it quite carefully. However, while history shouldn't be the be-all when you rank college teams, it's worth noting that Life and Lindenwood have a good rivalry and generally Lindenwood has had the better part of that rivalry. Yes Life beat Lindenwood last year, but Lindenwood beat Life twice after that.
RPI laid down ... maybe not a marker, but a warning this past weekend in a close loss to Marist.
The Engineers fell short 12-10 to the Red Foxes, leaving Marist undefeated, but with the conference playoffs looming, RPI could shake things up.
Bumped over to D2 from Small College by NCR, the University of Maine wasn't sure about where they would fit in the NEWCRC order.
