GRR: Rankings
We always say that the playoffs will clarify the rankings and we'd like that, but sometimes it seems they muddle things, too.
Not that you should feel sorry for us at all but this week's rankings seemed especially difficult.
We didn't see too many of the Top 10 in action this week but about 14 ranked #10 to #35 did play.
As we have always said, the playoffs always shake up the rankings. When so few D2 teams play outside their conference it remains difficult to judge the level of play.
This is our second all-DIAA ranking of the fall, as we're doing this once a month.
The top 18 is easy to track because those teams are in our all-D1 fall ranking.
Sometimes it is that simple.
You know how we roll. If Team A is ranked below Team B and beats Team B, we don't automatically put Team A in Team B's spot. Even if Team B is ranked #1. There are always other factors involved.
