Month: September 2015

This week’s CFRA Poll is one of the wildest we have had since the organization’s re-emergence in 2009.  First of all, we have a new # 1 ranked team that no other major poll has.  That’s right, the Ole Miss Rebels have jumped the Ohio State Buckeyes for the top spot in this week’s CFRA top 25.  Furthermore, the Rebels have attained the top spot without garnering a single first-place vote!  Six different teams were ranked # 1 by at least one voter but Ole Miss was not one of those squads.  Without further ado, here are this week’s wild and wacky rankings.
