Week 2 of the ‘Top 25’ poll, as expected, saw lots of team movement. As teams establish themselves expect more movement in the coming weeks. All of the top 5 teams in week 1 (albeit one to an American team) lost games in the last week and a half. What teams should be in the top 25 / 50?
Depending on when scores are reported the ‘Top 25’ is released weekly between Sunday 6pm and Monday 12 noon.
