NCR D1 Fall 2023 Rankings Week 12

Notre Dame College stays #1. No surprise. Jack Nice photo.

We won't see much change in the final two weeks of these rankings.

Oh, sure, we may well see the top four shift around. But we won't see much more than that. This top four has been the top four (mostly) for much of the season. Notre Dame College made the top four in the second week of our rankings. Indiana hovered around 5 and 6 until Week 8 and after one slip have stayed there. Brown and St. Bonaventure have never dropped below #3.

So it's no surprise we'll see these guys in the NCR D1 semifinals and now it's just a case of in what order. Right now we have to say we'll be quite surprised if #1 is not NDC. They just have so many weapons, especially their defense.

Will we see any coattails? We did this week, as Belmont Abbey moved up because of their close loss to Kutztown, once Kutztown hung in there vs Brown. Conversely, with Siena's drop, Iona slides down a bit.
