GRR: Rankings
Of the 40 teams in our D2 rankings, 28 represent rankings changes this week.
Now that the season has started in earnest we can drop a couple of teams out (Central Missouri has numbers issues, for example), and bring some teams in based on results we were waiting for.
This was a really good weekend for the rankings because we had seven games in which NCR D1 ranked teams played other NCR D1 ranked teams.
In addition, three NCR D1 teams played CRAA D1A opposition.
We'll have more on what Arkansas State is up to, but their significant victory over Iowa Central bumps them up this week.
Iowa Central CC Head Coach Brent Nelson told us we had Arkansas State ranked too low, and we're inclined to agree.
Not a lot of D2 games this week but there were a few.
Northern Iowa goes 1-2 in the Middle of the Map tournament but that wasn't a bad performance at all. All of their opponents were D1 teams and they were competitive in all games. So, yes, it's a tournament (so not super rankings important) but still good enough.
OK, we won't keep you in suspense, there are no changes.
There are no changes in our D1A rankings.
There will be more games as we go on, but right now, we didn't see anything (including Navy's loss to Trinity) that screamed "Change It!"
So, really, this is just for your records.
