After a sweep of conference foe Central Michigan this past weekend and closing their fall season out with only 1 loss, the University of Michigan (8-1, 14-1) are the new #1 team in the NCSA DI.  Interesting enough, Michigan only received 5 first place votes compared to Illinois’ 11, but finished 2 points higher in the rankings.  James Madison stayed at #3, and Sacred Heard and Air Force helped round out the top 5.

Lot’s of movement in the Rawlings Week 9 NCSA DI Top 20, but only one team dropped out.  The University of Maryland moved from #19 to unranked which allowed newcomer Ohio State to join the Top 20 Party.  Ohio State is having a nice start to their season, sitting at 6-0 after sweeping #17 Kentucky in conference play.

One more Top 20 will be released for the fall portion of the season, then we’ll take a break until we get started back up for the spring portion of the season.
