GRR: Men DI Rankings
So this is fun ...
Most of the D1A rankings remains unchanged. We have a new #25 and that's about it, but we spent a lot of time pondering two teams, both of which lost of the weekend: Mount St. Mary's and Army.
Spoiler alert - not much changes here.
Let's talk playoffs. The rankings aren't related to playoffs ... the seedings in D1AA aren't influenced by GRR's rankings, while D1A is, slightly.
But we get to use the rankings to look at the playoffs.
Here's what's going to happen:
What a weekend of results.
We have spoken the last two years about parity in D1A, highlighted in part by the fact that the last three seasons have produced three different champions. This year the parity is on full display. No one team has a perfect record. No one team has a tight grasp on #1. Any team could emerge as a majo player in the playoffs.
While this past week's results didn't really change the top rankings, we do have some shifts further down in our Spring D1AA Top 25.
What a weekend.
Saint Mary's beat Cal Poly 43-38. Central Washington beat UCLA 47-41. Navy beat Penn State 29-26. Arizona beat BYU 32-22. So much fun. We're very happy to have been at UCLA vs CWU in-person.
