I know I said I was holding off on the NAIA this week, and I am, but I did want to tip off a few games of interest.\u00a0 (One reason I held off was that there still weren’t updated rankings, but I figured out today, stupid me, that they’re not releasing the first post-preseason poll until next week.)<\/p>\n
So after the jump, a list of games this week involving ranked teams, with the caveat that at least one of these teams would not be ranked this week had there been a poll. (I’m looking at you, 0-2 #10 Ottawa, although to be fair they did lose both games to other ranked squads.)<\/p>\n
