Goff Rankings
Well, here we go. Strength of schedule has a significant influence on the rankings and we kind of suspected that UNC Wilmington's difficult run of opponents might help them.
Of course, a lightning-halted game meant we couldn't hinge a ranking on that result ... we had to wait. This week's win over ranked Virginia boosts the Seahawks to #1.
Did St. Bonaventure do enough to retain the #2 ranking?
Well, when #2 plays #4 on the road and #2 wins by 3 points, we'd say that fits right into where they seem to be.
Kentucky was going to hold onto #1 if they won one game ... so they won two just to make sure.
This week's rankings see us drop Bowling Green down and move Louisville up after the Cardinals beat the Falcons. BG drops four spots, which is a lot, but part of that is because we think Iowa and Iowa State both did good things. Tennessee is lurking, too.
Before we get into the new rankings we have to acknowledge a mistake.
We have 10 teams not in these rankings.
Overall D1A kicked off the fall with 37 teams, however, UTEP has decided they fit better in D1AA (which is true), and Utah Valley is basically playing a development schedule as Head Coach Paul Lasike revamps things. So the division is at 35. Our Top 25, then, might better be a Top 20, but we've got it at 25 so we'll stay with 25.
