2021 NCAA NCSS Rankings: Week 9

With eight weeks in the books, let's turn our attention to Week 9.

Pretty much everyone has played at least seven games to this point, and several teams are up to eight or even nine. By and large non-conference play is done, but we're here to chart how this is going still.

There's still one more massive shift yet coming in the final week of the regular season, but this week it didn't look like there was a ton. Let's take a look.

1. MAC (0.00, 5.75. LW: 1). No non-conference games this week.
2. Mountain West (0.00, 5.25. LW: 2). No non-conference games this week.
3. Conference USA (0.00, 5.21. LW: 3). No non-conference games this week.
4. American Athletic (0.00, 4.55. LW: 4). No non-conference games this week.
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 (0.29, 3.00. LW: 10). North Carolina visits Notre Dame and Virginia visits BYU.
8. SEC (0.00, 3.00. LW: 7). No non-conference games this week.
9. Pac-12 (0.00, 2.83. LW: 8). No non-conference games this week..
10. Big XII (0.00, 2.80. LW: 9). No non-conference games this week.

It's a quiet week on this front; with literally three games involving independent teams; one of those games is those teams playing each other. We've also got a ton of byes this week, especially in the MAC, as just one game this weekend means full on MACtion ramping up to go.

I'll be back early next week with the results from the weekend and how it'll impact what should be a fun playoff hunt in November!
