SME NETWORK TOP 25 FOR WEEK 8
Top Teams Hold Serve…Very Little Movement
Melville, NY – Today, the SME Network released their Top 25 Broadcasters’ Poll for the eighth week of the season. Finally, the movement has settled down and all but one of the top 10 remains in tact.
This week, the largest jump in the ranks came from Jacksonville State. The Gamecocks went from being unranked to moving up to the #21 spot. William & Mary, and Weber State moved up four spots each. Due to their loss, Massachusetts fell to #18. Also due to losses, both North Dakota State and South Dakota State fell out of the top 25.
Week eight didn’t see as many unpredictable upsets and movement in the poll. Perhaps the best are near the top. With playoff caliber match-ups next week, we will see which teams can start calling themselves, “Best of the Best”.
