We almost put Oregon State in the Top 40 but, really, couldn't find a team that deserved to drop out.
In the wake of a couple of pretty division-shaking games, we have perhaps a slightly muted slate of games this week.
D1AHaving said that, there are some contests to watch. The big, big one is UCLA at Central Washington. The Bruins' win over Arizona wasn't an easy one, but it was a win. And they take on a CWU team that has been in a few dogfights themselves.
Navy had decent but maybe not perfect first outing for 2024 but they did come away with a win.
For the Midshipmen you'd expect them to be prepared and fit, and building from a superb fall, but training is just that ... training.
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 put aside their one conference loss of the season to win the Lonestar D1AA Conference over the weekend.
The Bearkats had dropped a close loss to Rice during the regular season and as a result came into the playoff weekend as the #2 seed. That didn't sit right with them.
