GRR: Men DI Rankings
This is our second week of what we're calling the All-D1 rankings, which basically takes out the CRAA teams (that's the easiest way to explain it).
We have several changes, which is something we warned you about. Our early rankings are based on the best information available and when the actual games happen, we have better data.
This week we unveil our Men's D1 College rankings.
Now, there's a lot to say about all of this, although much of what will be said will be said by the teams on the field. What we'll say now is this:
Our preseason D1A rankings have an air of speculation about them.
Of course you can't be sure how a team will look on the field at any time, but coming off a period of 18 months where some teams hardly played, this fall's first ranking could be even more difficult.
Well we took a few weeks off from these rankings because the games were so few and far between that one game was unlikely to change much.
As it was, we still didn't get much in the way of games even by waiting. And we were waiting for a big upset to shift teams around, but we didn't get that, either.
More teams in action and more are in the rankings.
We've expanded to a Top 25. This is made a LOT easier by the fact that some teams who got onto the field this past weekend won games against ranked teams.
Indiana did that. So did Louisville. So did Western Michigan.
