2021 NCAA NCSS Rankings: Week 10

Happy MACtion month.

I'm making sure I get this done earlier than I have a couple times earlier this season where the NCSS numbers aren't getting updated until way late in the week. But with more Tuesday and Wednesday night games (thanks MAC and ESPN), I'm trying to make sure I'm all caught up here.

Most of the games still from here on out will continue to be in-conference, but given the presence of seven independent teams, plus a rivalry week coming up sooner than we think, these numbers will continue to change.

So without further ado, let's see what's coming up!

  1. MAC (0.00, 5.75. LW: 1). No non-conference games this week.
  2. Mountain West (0.25, 5.50. LW: 2). Air Force hosts Army, and Utah State visits New Mexico State.
  3. Conference USA (0.00, 5.21. LW: 3). No non-conference games this week.
  4. American Athletic (0.18, 4.73. LW: 4). Navy visits Notre Dame.
  5. Sun Belt (0.00, 4.30. LW: 5). No non-conference games this week.
  6. Big Ten (0.00, 3.57. LW: 6). No non-conference games this week.
  7. ACC (0.37, 3.37. LW: 7). Updated after the fact to recognize that the Wake Forest-UNC game was technically non-conference.
  8. SEC (0.07, 3.07. LW: 8). Ole Miss hosts Liberty.
  9. Pac-12 (0.00, 2.83. LW: 9). No non-conference games this week..
  10. Big XII (0.00, 2.80. LW: 10). No non-conference games this week.

Once again, all the changes are a result of games among independents. And this doesn't include BYU and UMass each hosting an FCS opponent this week, their first of the year. The independents, were they their own conference, would be first by a landslide in this metric with an average NCSS of 14.43. Obviously, consider the context of that number; that's why I don't usually include them here.

We get MAC games tonight and tomorrow night before the usual slate coming up this weekend!
