Men DII College Rankings
We didn't see too many of the Top 10 in action this week but about 14 ranked #10 to #35 did play.
As we have always said, the playoffs always shake up the rankings. When so few D2 teams play outside their conference it remains difficult to judge the level of play.
Well as we said would happen, the rankings got a shakeup as major conference finals were held.
Some of the things we learned as a result:
Georgetown is indeed very good. The Hoyas beating a strong Villanova team by 46 is a serious result.
The playoffs are coming.
When the playoffs are here we will see some significant movement. Don't expect the rankings to be perfect. No, not at all. To be honest, while we are pretty sure of the top three, even they could, of course, lose at some point. And we are pretty sure that teams #4 through #11 could all be mixed up and we wouldn't argue.
We honestly would love to see some movement in the Top 10 but we don't because all of those teams did what was expected of them this past week.
Well we have some shakeups in this week's D2 rankings.
Wins over ranked or at the very least strong teams moved several teams up and bumped Grand Valley down. No criticism of GVSU but there is a bit of the "what have you done for me lately?" aspect here. Having said that, we think #5 through to around #18 are pretty close.
