Goff Rankings
In the top 15 or so everyone did what was expected in D1A.
Well, well, well.
So we have many changes. Most obvious is the #1 spot. Kentucky has done just fine, and we commend them for their tough schedule, and we also recognize that their game against Indiana really could have gone either way. But ... if you're not going to give a team like Louisville a shot at #1 after they thump both Bowling Green and Western Michigan, when would you?
We noticed we had something kind of weird here.
Michigan lost to Rio Grande, but we don't have Rio Grande in the rankings. Michigan also lost to Aquinas, and we do have Aquinas in the rankings, but below Michigan. Now, some would say that is, to coin a technical term, a "mistake."
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.
