Few things I’d like to explain here.. Utah only moved up a spot in my rankings for two reasons.. #1. They had to, there was nobody that could jump them that would be reasonable, seeing as teams ahead of them lost. #2. They did beat a ranked team of mine, that does count for something.
Next up, James Madison did hang on to their #25 ranking.. They were idle & nobody did anything to jump them.
Finally, I figured it’s time to stop goofing around with Ball State & give them the respect they deserve.. They’re playing every bit as good as Utah, if not better.. The only difference is the conference in which they play. Ball State is legit.
