October 10, 2007 - The latest DII men's college top 20 shows few changes at the very top. But Missouri does shoot up thanks to Dan Besmer, Scott Smuth and DJ Stanger as they scored the tries, while Jeff Rehder hit the kicks that beat a very strong DI Nebraska team.
Mizzou are undersized but they used speed and fitness to win and did a smart job of finding weaknesses in their opponents.
Arkansas State stays on top after beating #12 Ole Miss 60-0. Darrin Oliver led the scoring parade with three tries and Tommy Parrish got two in the rout. They take on Albright this weekend.
In the West the teams to watch out for are Northern Colorado, who put a nice scare into Colorado State, and Regis, who, led by the Seigel brothers Tyler and Derek. The former Jesuit High stars are starting to score tries and helping put together some nice games.
Further down, Utah Valley didn't play at the Snake Bite and Utah State were just OK. Not enough when St. Bonaventure is beating up on everyone in New York. Bonny's moves in.
Ohio wins yet again, this time over Michigan. Radford won, but coach Mick Turk just shook his head and had one word for the game "ugly." He just said it 14 times.
And Baylor is coming up again. They won Cowtown (tying one game and winning three). They were in four very close games, but they won, and that counts for something.
