Second regional rankings of 2015 released

The second regional rankings of the season have been released. Commentary, if any at all, later this evening.

UPDATE: There may be more later, but a head-to-head win has to overcome minor deficiencies in other criteria. And to be clear, I’m talking about the comparisons between UW-Eau Claire, Illinois Wesleyan and UW-Oshkosh, which happens to be one of two ranked teams to have beaten UW-Whitewater. The other is the top-ranked team in the West Region. Not all wins and losses to ranked teams are created equal.

The committee seems to be saying it is correcting mistakes in the Week 1 rankings. Now I think the Central rankings are pretty close and the Midwest ones are questionable. The reverse was true last week. We still have a couple of weeks to get this right.

Central Region (Week 1 rank)
1 (1). Washington-St. Louis
2 (3). Gustavus Adolphus
3 (4). Augsburg
4 (2). Wartburg
5 (5). Saint Benedict
6 (NR). Northwestern
7 (6). Coe
8 (8). Bethel
Dropped out: No. 7 Saint Mary’s (Minn.)

Midwest Region (Week 1 rank)
1 (1). UW-Whitewater
2 (2). Carthage
3 (5). Illinois Wesleyan
4 (4). UW-Eau Claire
5 (6). UW-Stevens Point
6 (7). Elmhurst
7 (8). Chicago
8 (3). UW-Oshkosh

The top four teams in other regions:
Great Lakes Region: 1. Calvin; 2. Wittenberg; 3. Hope; 4. Ohio Wesleyan.
Mid-Atlantic Region: 1. Juniata; 2. Christopher Newport; 3. Eastern; 4. Mary Washington.
New England Region: 1. MIT; 2. Amherst; 3. Springfield; 4. Bowdoin.
New York Region: 1. Clarkson; 2. Stockton; 3. Union; 4. SUNY Brockport.
South Region: 1. Emory; 2. Berry; 3. Randolph-Macon; 4. Hendrix.
West Region: 1. Colorado College; 2. Southwestern; 3. Texas Dallas; 4. Claremont-Mudd-Scripps.
