We were treated to games between #1 and #2, and #3 and #4 this weekend. Even though the 1 v 2 matchup wasn’t a league game, it was played like one and BYU won it. St. Mary’s were right there for a while, but were blown out late, after they emptied their bench.

Don't get us wrong; BYU was the better team, but perhaps the score wasn't quite indicative of true competitive balance between the teams.

Meanwhile #4 Life did what we suspected they would, and won in Marietta. St. Mary’s drops from #2 to #3, and Life jumps from #4 to #2. Arkansas State drops a place.

That isn’t the only move in the D1-A Top 20. Colorado continues to provide us with some interesting fodder for rankings. Their 67-5 blowout of Arizona State has to move them up.

And we have one new team. Oklahoma drops out and Ohio State, which almost pulled off an upset over Kutztown, and looks stronger this year, goes in at #20.
