Men D1AA Rankings Week 4 25-26

Men D1AA Rankings Week 4 25-26

Kentucky was going to hold onto #1 if they won one game ... so they won two just to make sure.

This week's rankings see us drop Bowling Green down and move Louisville up after the Cardinals beat the Falcons. BG drops four spots, which is a lot, but part of that is because we think Iowa and Iowa State both did good things. Tennessee is lurking, too.

 A close win and a close loss bring Princeton and Cincinnati into the Top 30, but really this ranking poised for a massive randomization. Key ranked-v-ranked games and major tests are coming up. Teams that are pushing to be ranked, such as Delaware or Alabama, or teams that are itching to move up, such as Tennessee or Oklahoma, could get their chance soon. Keep an eye on Texas A&M vs Texas State on Friday, Iowa vs Minnesota (another rankings hopeful) on Saturday, and South Carolina vs Tennessee.

This coming weekend, we will be at one of the ranked-vs-ranked games, too.
