Top 30 CCAA Team Rankings by Bill Crowdis – November 11, 2015
With this being our third set of rankings, it is expected that a lot of movement has happened, given the amount of teams involved.
Our top ten sees John Abbott dropping out and Humber sliding into the #10 spot. I know many people believe that we have Humber ranked too high, however, the reigning national champs host the provincial championships at home this year and with key members from last season still around, they will very likely be a tough team to beat come playoff time in the OCAA.
Our next group of ten sees La Cite, Langara and Crandall enter the top 20 for the first time. La Cite has been the surprise of the early season while Crandall looks poised to give Holland a run for the ACAA crown. Some consider Langara to be in a rebuilding year, but still a contender out west. Douglas, Mount Allison and MSVU find themselves bumped out of the top 20.
Our final ten teams, rounding out our top 30, should not be underestimated. UKC, Niagara and Olds are all on the rise, and very likely to have a taste of the top 20 if they continue their strong play. New to the top 30 is Brebeuf, Algonquin and Seneca. Brebeuf has defeated Top 20 teams, Champlain and John Abbott already this season. Algonquin has done well at home to start the season with wins over GBC, Centennial and Canadore. Seneca has won their last three games on the road with their next test coming up against Algonquin.
Player of the Week
Player of the Week goes to Chaz Johnson of Lethbridge, who averaged a triple double, 19pts, 10rebs and 10asts, in wins over Briercrest and Medicine Hat.
