Following championship deciders in three conferences, just about everyone is on the move.
There is also one reappearance and one team that drops out altogether. Rutgers makes it back to the ARN rankings after a solid spring campaign, as we simultaneously say adios to Virginia Tech.
Incredibly, after seven months of action from coast to coast there are still four teams that are unbeaten, and perhaps a little surprisingly, Cal isn’t one of them.
BYU, San Diego State, Arkansas State, and Bowling Green still have 0 in their ‘L’ columns, although BGSU does have a tie. The Falcons tied with Navy back at the end of February.
There are still four more seeds to be sorted out for the Round of 16 and that will happen this coming weekend. The Pacific Coast will determine its #3 and #4 seeds, while the West will come up with its #1 and #2 seeds.
Once the dust settles on all of that, we will know who will be playing who in the opening rounds of the 2009 national championship over the weekend of April 17-19.
As is usually the case after a big weekend of college ball, the Top 25 will probably look a whole lot different next week, but for now, this is what we’ve got.
