Following a reasonably active weekend 16 teams are on the move one way or the other, including the reappearance of a former Big Four side not seen in the rankings for some time.

Colorado bounces into the 25 at #18 following a credible series of games at the Jackalope tournament. CU won the tourney ahead of its in-state rival Colorado State, which climbs a few spots as a consequence.

The other big mover is Penn State. The Nittany Lions have forced their way into the top 5 after being pushed all the way to the finish line by a gutsy Ohio State before finally prevailing.

Dartmouth also moves up a place behind its two wins in the Granite Challenge Cup.

Teams going in the opposite direction include St Mary’s, LSU, Army, San Diego State, Central Washington, Florida, Va Tech and Sac State, all of whom are idle, along with Rutgers and Oklahoma, which drops out altogether.

And just a reminder that again this season we will be including shortened tournament games and matches against men’s teams in everyone’s overall records. They are classed as exhibition games and they all count.
