New Coach, Off-Field Unity, and Colorado Mesa Is a Team to Watch

Lurking in the West in men’s D2 college rugby has been Colorado Mesa, who this past weekend won big over a very tough Boise State to secure a place in the NCR playoffs.

Men D1AA Rankings Week 11 25-26

The multi-ranked games did not disappoint. 

We got some really close ones, and teams that really consolidated their powerful positions.

Boston College showed us a lot and move up five spots. Iowa and Iowa State stay up there, as do Tennessee and Louisville.

Men NCR D1 Rankings Week 11 2025

The top teams do seem to be the top teams in NCR D1, but we do have some shifting going on.

We really do think Notre Dame is very good, and we saw them play against Walsh early in the season. They lost that game but the Irish showed they had potential to do something special this year.
