Pom’s Power Rankings
- (RV)Bellevue– Have now dropped 3 straight games but have played a tough schedule.
- Mayville State-Didn’t play this week still not a big sample size to compare to Bellevue
- Valley City-Two big wins over two GPAC teams. Have momentum as they prepare for another crack at rival Jamestown, this time at home.
- Dickinson State– Didn’t play this week have a lot of time to shore things up before their next scheduled game on November 20th
- Viterbo- Dropped their first two games of the season but were without their best player in my opinion Noah Fredrickson.
- Presentation- Picked up a nice win over Briar Cliff, but at the NAIA Classic. Have two great chances to prove themselves against top notch competition at home.
- Waldorf- Need to find a way to combat their shooting woes from their first two games.
** (Dakota State– Has yet to play. They have had many games postponed/canceled and currently are not scheduled to play until November 27th. (They will be included when they start playing.)
