GRR: Rankings
This is our second all-DIAA ranking of the fall, as we're doing this once a month.
The top 18 is easy to track because those teams are in our all-D1 fall ranking.
Sometimes it is that simple.
You know how we roll. If Team A is ranked below Team B and beats Team B, we don't automatically put Team A in Team B's spot. Even if Team B is ranked #1. There are always other factors involved.
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.
