Note: Last night's Bowdoin and Conn College games were not included for the rankings.
In this week's computer rankings, Utica (after a big win against Hobart) and Norwich are in a statistical dead heat for the top spot. In the NESCAC, no movement at all for the top three. Trinity and Wesleyan move up one spot each. The Bantams stabilized with a two win weekend after their less than stellar Maine trip dropped them nine spots last week.
Everyone in the bottom half of the league saw slight drops, except for Tufts, who moved up ten spots on the strength of a non-conference win over Wentworth and a hard fought tie at Wesleyan. Below are the latest NESCAC teams place in the Computer Rankings, including their change in ranking over the past week and their NESCAC standing. For the full rankings, click here.
