A loss bumps Upper Iowa up?

 

[CoachNel4]

Sorry I misread the score. Thanks for the heads up.

I would think a close loss to a top 25 team in division 2 is probably a little bit more impressive than the games of the 4 you have put above them.But I am biased and fairly aware of the difference between Div 2 and 3.

I appreciate the input. Yes there is a difference between D2 and D3 and I am fully aware of that. I would say Wartburg would give the Peacocks a good game and those NAIA schools would as well. Just because a team is a division higher doesn't automatically make them head and shoulders better. I think Upper Iowa has a fine team and we will not ever know any of those outcomes. Plus the majority of the time when it comes to rankings when you lose a game you will drop a few spots.
