On Oct. 1, Kevin Knabe published the list and GWU earned the No. 6 spot. The Loyola College Greyhounds garnered top honors while the South Dakota State Jackrabbits were second and the Grand Canyon University Antelopes were third. UT-San Antonio Roadrunners were third while the Runnin' Rebels of UNLV were fifth.
After Gardner-Webb in the sixth spot, the John Carroll University Blue Streaks were seventh. The UAB Blazers were eighth while the USC-Aiken Pacers and Murray State Racers rounded out the top-10 list.
