For games played through 11/1/2009
It is very early and only a handful of games have been played, but my rankings for D-III teams is up and running. http://math.bd.psu.edu/faculty/rutter/D3_Rankings.html
Each team has a prior rating based on last year's results, which is why RIT is number 1 without playing a game. The effect of this prior decreases with every game played. See my web page for more information. I will try to answer any questions posted in this thread with the disclaimer that I watch 0 +/- 1 DIII games a year and I am not familiar with individual teams.
Yet I still believe leaving RIT out of the NCAA tournament was a bad decision.
