Not many changes in this weeks Rawlings Week 23 NCSA DI Top 20.  Wisconsin still remains on top with the U.S. Air Force Academy and Virginia Tech right behind them.  Some minor moves within the Top 20, but no new additions or teams falling out in this weeks poll.

RAWLINGS WEEK 21 NCSA DI TOP 20

No surprise here as the University of Wisconsin remains the #1 Team in the Rawlings Week 21 NCSA DI Top 20.  Very few games were played since the last poll was released so much of the Top 20 stays the same with just little shakeups here and there.

One newcomer does join the pack.  The University of South Carolina jumps into the Top 20 making their debut at 19.

RAWLINGS WEEK 12 NCSA DI TOP 20

Another Top 20 released and another new #1!  This time it’s the Badgers from Wisconsin sitting atop the rankings with an unblemished 9-0 record.  Wisconsin is now the 4th different team to claim the #1 spot this year and we just wrapped up the fall portion of the season.  Compare that to last year where we only had 2 different teams reach the top of the rankings (VT and Sacred Heart).

Wisconsin closes out the fall portion of the season at #1 in the Rawlings Week 12 NCSA DI Top 20 closely followed by Air Force only 4 points behind.  A lot of respect given to Air Force as they received by far the most first place votes with 9.  Virginia Tech, Iowa and Michigan State round out the Top 5 and Delaware, Colorado and UNC join the dancefloor coming in at 19 and 20 respectively.

Enjoy the holidays and the next Rawlings NCSA DI Top 20 will be released: 2/1/24.

RAWLINGS WEEK 9 NCSA DI TOP 20

After losing 2 of 3 to Illinois State, your previous #1, the University of Illinois falls to #5 in the Rawlings Week 9 NCSA DI Top 20.  A familiar name now sits atop the rankings.  The University of Iowa claims the top stop by edging out the University of Wisconsin by 1 point.

The U.S. Air Force Academy comes in at #3 with 6 first place votes, while our defending National Champions, Virginia Tech  fall a spot to #4.  As mentioned earlier, the Fighting Illini round out the Top 5.  The team that help drop Illinois 4 spots, Illinois State, makes their first appearance in the Top 20 coming in at #17 after the huge confernece series win!
