GRR: Rankings
Well we might as well post the new D1A rankings now.
The seeds are going to be decided soon so at least here's our shot.
So this is fun ...
Most of the D1A rankings remains unchanged. We have a new #25 and that's about it, but we spent a lot of time pondering two teams, both of which lost of the weekend: Mount St. Mary's and Army.

... Or at least overlooking stuff.

Usually, when we're asked the question as to whether the HS Clubs or Single-School teams are stronger, our answer is this: at the top, they are fairly close, but the club top list is probably a bit longer, the medium-ranked school list is a bit longer, but then there's a sharp drop.
Spoiler alert - not much changes here.
