Men DII College Rankings Week #7
Men DII College Rankings Week #7
The latest Goff Rugby Report Men's DII college rankings see some movement, as VMI moves up to #3 and Salisbury to #4 after Salisbury beat previous #3 Towson.
Rowan won big over a Drexel team that had produced a few good results, and they get bumped up as a result. Salve Regina and RPI both get bumps for good results this weekend.
Spring Hill is up and down ... and in fact everyone in the Deep South seems to be. Spring Hill drops as they tied Tulane, but that tie was enough to get Tulane in the rankings. UL-Lafayette enters, too. IUP sent in their scores, and they're back, and RIT continues to surprise - they come in at #50.
Buffalo State has struggled the second half of the season and drops out, as does York. It's a shame Sacred Heart doesn't get in, but the Tri-State playoffs will give them a chance soon enough.
