Men D1AA Rankings Week 6 25-26

Men D1AA Rankings Week 6 25-26

Tennessee vaults to #1. Will Fagan photo.

One week was Louisville got.

For now.

With the Cardinals idle and Kentucky winning well against a solid team and Tennessee winning very well against an excellent team, we shift things around at the top, once more.

Tennessee has been making waves for a while and we just needed to see them against a highly-ranked team, such as Clemson. They delivered. Louisville, without an opponent, drops to #3 after a week at #1, while Kentucky continues to know on the door of the house they've lived in for some time.

North Carolina re-enters the rankings after an improved showing against Lander. And we think Kansas and Wayne State deserve a close look close to the top.

But for the most part everyone won games. In fact, of the Top 30, 23 played and only four lost, with ranked teams winning three and the other result being a D1 team taking the win.

Things are pretty wide open in this division. But expect some teams to creep up.
