It's weird times in the NEWCRC.
After being touted quite heavily in these pages for its competitiveness top to bottom, the league has in fact split rather dramatically. The bottom half of the standings is now struggling and it's really a case of some teams going through some rebuilding at the same time that others are returning the majority of really good units.
One more big game for Navy as we see the massive showdown between St. Bonaventure and Navy, two unbeaten teams in the Rugby East.
This is a pretty important weekend in several DIAA competitions.
Heart of AmericaIowa State leads the HOA North with a 2-0 record and they play Minnesota this weekend at ISU. A bonus-point win for the Cyclones and they clinch #1 in the North. Iowa has sewn up 2nd and a semifinal place.
So we separated the DIAA games from the D1A and NCR D1 because now that we're into the conference schedule there's less crossover with the other divisions, and we've also got a lot going on.
Having said that, while there are quite a few games going on, very few, strangely, are ranked-vs-ranked games.
With over 30 games in DII conferences or non-conference games, we do have a few that carry significant rankings or conference ramifications.
Bloomsburg at Scranton and Georgetown at Towson. All four of these teams are undefeated in MARC conference play, with three of them at 3-0 and Georgetown at 2-0.
