Men D1AA Rankings 2026-27 Week 10

It's been an extra week since we updated our D1AA rankings and a lot happened there.

Basically, the #1 and #2 teams both lost, and then the team that beat #2 (South Carolina) lost to someone else.

Queens Holds Steady at #1.

NCR D1 Rankings Fall 2026 Week 9

It was a very busy NCR D1 weekend and we saw, for the most part, teams logging results that the rankings expected.

Our biggest conundrum is what to do about Notre Dame and Brown. With Brown winning that game 90-0 the Fighting Irish should probably be dropped out of the rankings. They were, however, competitive with UCLA and did beat Michigan and Michigan State.

D1A Rankings for 2026-27 Week 10

Navy's close win over Saint Mary's could conceivably mean Navy drops out of #1, but no, you'd also expect that #1 vs #4 would be close.

Instead, we move the Gaels up a spot to #3.

Ohio State's win over Indiana on the 16th moves the Buckeyes up, and GCU also nudges up a spot.

Who should be #1?

NCR D1 Rankings Fall 2026 Week 8

OK, let's get into the main event straight off.

With #1 Walsh losing, who is in the top spot. To be honest, you could pick any of the top three. Walsh did lose to Kutztown, but they have beaten Marian, Rio Grande, Wheeling, and, most importantly for this conversation, St. Bonaventure.

Walsh is a little bit more vulnerable at the #1 ranking but holds on because they did win over Wheeling.

Wheeling gets a move up in our NCR D1 rankings, and we shift some things around. We weren't sure about that Wheeling win over Indiana but we have put it back in play and drop Indiana down a bit.
