GRR: Rankings
As we have mentioned several times before, we try very hard not to look at any other rankings.
This has been a fairly tumultuous D1AA fall.
There are a number of rankings here where we could ... COULD ... make a change, but really with some teams still idle until the winter it takes a LOT to push some of those teams down.
It's possible, but not easy.
We made several changes this week, although not at #1.
Why IUP Is Ranked #1
Scranton, on further reflection, has been hard-done-by. Maybe we were just not good with the MARC this year. It could be. We have them up near the top teams now.
We didn't think we'd unseat St. Bonaventure for losing to Navy 15-3, but in the end we did.
We did that not because St. Bonaventure lost to a Navy team that has been dominant through the fall; we did it because Brown beat #8-ranked Iona. If we're going to look at a team beating a #8 team and saying "eh, what have you done for me lately?" seems a bit wrong.
