GRR: Men DI Rankings
We don't make a lot of changes this week with the DIAA rankings.
Fresno State, having beaten Chico State two weeks ago, didn't consolidate that victory by beating UC Santa Cruz. Instead, the Bulldogs tied the Banana Slugs. With Chico State looking solid with a win over Sac State, you could argue that we could throw out Chico State's close loss to Fresno, and move Chico higher.
This week's DIA ranking decisions are difficult.
Arkansas State beat Life on February 8, and Life then beat Lindenwood on February 15. Both scores 29-22. Both games were close, but we got the feeling that the Life-Lindenwood game was just a little bit closer ... Life was in real danger of seeing Lindenwood tie that game in the final minute.
Is no one going to take the mantel? Is no one going to challenge the top group?
We need someone to ... we don't know, win a game?
OK, that's a bit unfair. The Pac West took the week off, and if Fresno State had logged another impressive result, then the Bulldogs might have been that team.
But ... Long Beach State lost. Western Washington lost. Forida was half-idle.
Well of course; the #1-ranked team loses a game, that team usually drops down.
Of course the big result from this past weekend was #31 Fresno State defeating #11 Chico State.
