Men D1AA College Rankings Week 18
Men D1AA College Rankings Week 18
San Houston State moves up. Troy Tanzer photo.
We should have had Sam Houston State higher and they proved it this past weekend.
Rice was ranked higher thanks to last fall's 29-26 win over SHSU. But a more emphatic revenge win for the Bearkats has us switching the teams' places.
Sam Houston State Takes Lonestar in Emphatic Fashion
Sa Jose State also moved into the Top 10 while coming into the Top 40 thanks to close losses or wins over ranked teams are St. Edward's and Claremont Colleges.
The big question is, whether Boise State should be higher, and whether they are stronger than Western Washington. Then after that we have the unenviable job of figuring out whether any of these second-half teams are better than Kentucky or Louisville.
