Would not normally expect a #3 to drop a lot after losing to #1 ... but, let’s face it, they got blown out. But I still see them staying in the top ten. That allows spots 4-9 to nudge up one spot.
The other #9 (Illinois State) got shut out, at home, by an unranked team. I may have been generous dropping them only to #16. Towson lost a close one at #5 JMU, so I figure a drop of four spots is about right. Eastern Kentucky lost on the road to a very good (undefeated) Tennessee State team, so they should not drop too much. That should also get Tenn State a ranking.
I may have been too generous dropping Delaware by “only” seven slots. After their quick start, they’ve looked pretty bad, and it would not surprise me if they get bumped out completely. I did bump Citadel -- another team that had a quick start and has not backed it up since. Finally, I bumped Northern Iowa because that 1-4 record just looks out of place among all the undefeated and one-loss teams.
I would love to be wrong about the Griz moving back in, but Albany’s 5-1 record can’t be ignored.
