GRR: Rankings
Well as we said would happen, the rankings got a shakeup as major conference finals were held.
Some of the things we learned as a result:
Georgetown is indeed very good. The Hoyas beating a strong Villanova team by 46 is a serious result.
This ranking is full of good teams.
Sometimes in some divisions, especially when we are ranking only teams that are playing right now (as we are with this fall-only group), we have to really look carefully for rankable teams.
But this group is more about having to find teams to keep out. And we’re moving good programs down, even, sometimes, when they win.
We honestly would love to see some movement in the Top 10 but we don't because all of those teams did what was expected of them this past week.
Well we have some shakeups in this week's D2 rankings.
Wins over ranked or at the very least strong teams moved several teams up and bumped Grand Valley down. No criticism of GVSU but there is a bit of the "what have you done for me lately?" aspect here. Having said that, we think #5 through to around #18 are pretty close.
OK let's address the key thing first.
