RAWLINGS WEEK 17 NCBA DI TOP 20 POLL

It’s been a wild two weeks!  Conference play is in full swing as nearly the entire league is back out on the field.  With Swing into Spring – Panama City Beach wrapping up this week,  it brings an end to the 40+ schools who participated in over 100 total games down in FL this month.

While Penn State (3-0 conference, 8-1 overall) remains #1, the gap has never been tighter. Enter Tennessee. The Vols (2-0 conference, 11-1 overall) find themselves just 2 points back as they ride a 6 game winning streak.

Biggest jump?  Georgia Tech (5-0 conference, 12-1 overall). The Yellow Jackets move up 13 spots to #5 this week.

4 newcomers slide in this week – Miami (OH), Florida, Nebraska & Michigan all move into the Top 20 after not being ranked previously.

All eyes will be on #1 Penn State /  #7 West Chester (6-0 conference, 8-0 overall) this coming weekend. These two are scheduled to play in a massive conference series out in the North Atlantic – West.

Next poll will be released April 2nd.
