Biggest gains for this year are 4 teams moving up 4 spots (Ithaca #17, Bethel#13, Johns Hopkins #10, Hardin Simmons #6) as well as UW-Oshkosh coming in at #19 having been previously unranked.

5 schools' rankings remain unchanged (Cortland #16, Delaware Valley #15, Mount Union #3, North Central (Ill.) #2, Mary Hardin-Baylor #1).

Biggest L's are a two-way tie for second place moving down 7 spots (RPI #20, Birmingham-Southern #25) with the biggest L going to Central moving down 8 spots at #14 because their Gagliardi Trophy winner quarterback graduated.

I hope you will come to appreciate this list because I spent making this, coloring the teams, and getting the record & points lined up on the right.

Welcome to the Boards, Trombone. +1!

Nice work, Trombone.  Much appreciated.

I know Bethel returns 19 starters plus they got a transfer All Conference WR and several D2 transfers.

Small Correction - UWW & MU Traded places in the rankings from last year.
