GRR D1A Rankings 2023-24 Week 5

Navy stays #1. Photo Navy Rugby.

Nothing too shocking in the top 10, and really the top 15 in this week's D1A rankings. Army might slide down further once more teams get going, but right now they and Penn State hover just outside the top 10.

Utah State's fairly emphatic win over an admittedly depleted Colorado gets them into the Top 25. Air Force, which hung tough with CSU, is in, as well. 

So it was kind of a hold-steady rankings week in D1A. This coming weekend, Mount St. Mary's (#16) takes on #18 Mary Washington, so we could well see changes after that game. And of course Navy at Life is a huge one. Texas A&M tours Colorado, and this is a good opening salvo for their more experienced lineup (younger players play in the games against Lonestar Conference opposition such as lats Saturday's game with University of Houston). Arkansas State takes on A&M after that, so the Aggies will be a bit of a crossover bellwether.
