The official D1A ranking, voted on by conferences and the media, is back with this week's Top 25.
These rankings are used, in part, to decide playoff matchups. Leading the way right now is Cal. The votes have also concluded that while Lindenwood may well have been the best team last season, with the players they graduated, they drop down a shade, to #4.
And, of course, here is how GRR Editor Alex Goff voted.
