GRR: Men DI Rankings
Two of the top three won in a fashion we'd expect. Arizona won and nudges ahead of UCLA (UCLA's ranking ahead of Arizona was somewhat speculative anyway), and despite losing a competitive Grand Canyon rises into our Top 20.
So we're back with the spring-focused conferences and already they've been in action.
Of note, Central Florida lost one game and won another by a single point. That's not a terrible start, but it's not enough to keep them in the Top 20. Other Florida results are enough to bring more Florida teams into the Top 40. We expect at least one team to start to separate and move further up.
The biggest result of note this past week was, of course, #23 Central Washington over #13 Arizona.
Well with D1A teams getting a few more games done this week, we have a little more to do when it comes to the rankings.
The D1A rankings have a direct effect on the D1A playoffs, as they are used to seed the playoff tournament, so it's no surprise that some teams are looking very closely at those rankings as the spring season approaches.
