Nathan Torres-Walker had his second pick of the season this past Saturday, part of the reason Southern Oregon University is now 8-1. Rocky Mountain was the victim this time, and they are no longer listed in the coaches’ poll. The #5 Raiders could use some help from them this weekend, though, as Rocky Mountain will be facing #2 Carroll College.
Hensley Rankings still has Rocky Mountain as one of the best 11 teams in the country even if the coaches are not impressed with their four losses. Hensley, which looks at schedule strength and where the wins and losses happen, unlike the coaches, predict losses for the #3 and #4 ranked teams this weekend. If just one of those things occur, the Raiders will crack the top four in the coaches’ poll and be in a position for two home post-season games.
