Men's DII College Top 25, Oct. 10, 2012 - Now Free
Rankings - Men DII College


Our top eight stay the same, while formerly No. 9 Bentley and No. 12 Rhode Island lost on the weekend.

Now 2-2 URI was blanked 25-0 by Norwich, so it topples all the way to No. 24. The win propels the Cadets to 4-2, with the only losses coming to DI-AA Brown and Canadian Bishop.

Bentley was the highest ranked to team to lose on the weekend, dropping a close game to St. Michael's, so it falls to No. 14.

Mary Washington was the third ranked team to lose, but the Mothers fell by just three to Radford. So Mary Washington stays drops just one spot, while Radford moves up two.

Georgetown dropped its first game of the season to Salisbury. The Sharks are No. 2 in the country, so we don't kill the Hoyas for the loss, but it'd be quite a feat for them to reach the postseason coming from maybe the toughest DII conference in the country.
