Goff Rankings
We finally come out with our first D2 rankings.
Starting off from scratch is tough so we like to see a couple of weeks of results. Teams to watch right now include UNC-Wilmington, Cornell, Towson, UMS&T, and Miami of Ohio. We're not saying they're going to be major champions, necessarily, but we do think they are all stronger than last year.
We're still moving a little slowly this early in the season for D1A, but we have had some impressive showings.
Navy's win over Mary Washington was a head-turner for us. They move past Life, but remember that Life is coming back onto the field this week.
Illinois comes into the Top 25 after a good showing against Purdue. Utah State moves up after beating Air Force.
What was really great about this past week in D1AA was how many close games there were.
We had a tie, and at least three high-level games decided bby a try or less. This is exciting for the division. You want like-minded, like-ability teams playing against each other.
We have a little bit of shifting this week in our NCR D1 rankings.
Walsh lost big to Army and drops a spot because of that. But, as usual, we try not to react too quickly on one result. Wisconsin comes into the Top 20 after a nicely-taken win over Michigan State. We also have Syracuse and Virginia Tech lurking close to the Top 20.
It's very, very early days in D1A.
We make a couple of small shifts, but that's about it for the moment.
Mount St. Mary's vs Davenport ended up hitting just about right with regard to the rankings. That one we were ready to make some changes on.
