Well, at least the Griz had plenty of company, with nine of the Top-25, and three of the Top-10, suffering losses. In a weird way, that may benefit UM (or not, of course).

The pollsters have been kind to Central Arkansas, IMO. I expect that to continue, so my guess does not drop the Bears out of the Top-10. In fact, I could see the pollsters drop them even less than my guess.
North Dakota got pummeled at NDSU, so they could drop even more than my guess … but I really don’t think so.
Since Weber wasn’t ranked this week, I expect the Gtiz to take a major hit. For those who think UM shouldn’t be ranked at all … get over it. Their (4-2) record fits in very nicely where I’ve put them.
William & Mary also lost to an unranked opponent, so I expect them to drop a lot, and perhaps even more than my guess.
Now life gets even more interesting, starting with.Southern Illinois. The Salukis have now lost three games in a row … this last one by a big margin. I think they’ll be gone from the Top-25.
Then came the bloodbath, with four teams at #21 and below losing to unranked opponents. With the Salukis, that makes five slots opening up in the Top-25. The easiest answer is to include the top “Others Receiving Votes” that won their games. with a couple of additions. Personally, I’m not sold on Chattanooga, but they’ve been getting a lot of votes, so I think they’ll be in. Harvard has not been getting votes, but I think their upset of ranked New Hampshire will move them in.Weber has been getting votes (and was ranked briefly), so I think their upset of the Griz will move them in also.
