GRR: Rankings
Well you see what happens when you've got a busy week.
We did our rankings for NCR D1 last week and then ... forgot to publish them. So all of the excitement of St. Bonaventure becoming #1 never materialized. Oh well. This week? Bonnies consolidates their place, having now beaten Army and Penn State. Notre Dame College, having tied Army, also anchors themselves at #4.
Well we really wanted to make some significant changes in these rankings and ... we couldn't, really.
Far too many of the higher-ranked teams beat lower-ranked teams. So, not much change, really.
We have a new #1 as Virginia Tech kicked off their season in style.
That #1 spot is still very much up for grabs.
Kansas bumps up a little as they continue on with good results, but perhaps the big news is how many teams join the Top 40.
Not a ton of movement in the D1A rankings because the higher-ranked teams won.
The big result is probably Army being defeated by St. Bonaventure. West Point certainly has to drift down but not too far; it's not as if St. Bonaventure is an average team. A three-point loss to potentially the best team in NCR isn't something to be ashamed of.
Big changes after Tennessee's loss to Clemson. Yes, only one point, but since Tennessee beat South Carolina, USC drops down, too, while Clemson moves up.
Everyone has a shot at moving up, of course.
