There is virtually no change in this week's Men's DI Fall rankings, because just about every team did what was expected.
Arkansas State does get a boost after an impressive win over Arkansas, but with everyone else behaving as planned, and many others not playing, we don't have room for Dartmouth, who probably deserves to come back in. Colorado edges up a little bit after beating New Mexico in impressive fashion.
But next week and the week after we see some big games that could shake things up. October 24 Army at Kutztown could be a game-changer. Certainly Friday's Life at Clemson has that potential, also.
