Look back 10 years ago, and there was one men’s DI game on Feb. 1. The following weekend in 2014, there were 18. From Feb. 1-2, 2025, there were 18 games. So the KANE Men’s DI Media Poll exists in a bit of a grey state after the first set of games. There were two Top 20 matchups, including one in the Top 10, but half of last week’s Top 10 is still yet to debut. Think of Week 0 as a recalibration of the preseason rankings and a reassessment considering scrimmage results and live game action for just under half of DI. There are significant moves, though: While Notre Dame is still clear at No. 1 and won’t play until Feb. 12, Utah and Rutgers earned their way into the poll with wins on Feb. 1. The Utes took care of then-No. 19 Ohio State. Led by freshman Luke McNamara’s five goals and Cody Hart’s four, the ASUN champs put on an impressive display. Rutgers put in a workmanlike 10-6 performance against Lehigh. Throughout the rest of the poll, things largely stayed the same. Some teams got more benefit of the doubt because of playing live action: Maryland went up a spot after a decisive win against Richmond, and Penn State inched up too. Johns Hopkins remained at No. 8 after showing poise against Denver, and the Pioneers shifted back a few spots and altered the order of teams 10-15. Week 0 also narrowed in the volume a bit, going down from 12 teams receiving votes to nine.
