Goff Rankings
Fully a dozen teams moved four or more spots this week.
The reason for that is we finally saw some teams with strong preseason rankings hit a speed bump. Oddly, while we move three teams out of the Top 10, only one of those teams lost. Virginia tied D3 team Hampden-Sydney; Georgetown beat Salisbury (but in a very close game), and then Villanova lost to Scranton.
This week's D1A rankings don't have a lot of changes.
Most teams did what was expected, and while we might have moved Mary Washington down because they lost fairly significantly to Life, we decided not to. We did move UCLA up to #12 after an impressive road win over Indiana in their opener.
That's the key move.
We skipped last week in DIAA so here's the update for Week 6 with two weeks worth of results to fuel it.
Overall, however, it's not like we saw a result from a week ago potentially make a big change and then that was followed up with another result.
We don't have a ton of moves this week but one or two are consequential.
Well we've been talking about how there's a top tier and a 2nd tier and then a 3rd tier in Men's D2 college rugby, and it's clear to us that is the case.
Fourteen of our Top 20 played, and only one lost. That loss was #15 losing to #10.
