The Varsity Cup's 1st Round kicks off this weekend and in recent years we've seen a few surprises in this round.
While most would think that Cal and Central Washington are heavily favored to make the final (both teams get a bye this weekend), that doesn't mean all of the other games are foregone conclusions.
Here's what we think (Goff Rugby Report rankings in parentheses):
NEW YORK – The Varsity Cup has updated its bracket following the pullout of Utah, and the ongoing issues regarding Arizona State.
Both teams are now out of the VC, and will be replaced by Boston College and Utah Valley University.
A new three-division conference is being formed for the 2017-18 DIA college season, with an eye toward localizing certain competitions and keeping teams that want to play only in the fall together.
The East Coast Rugby Conference - ECRC - has named it's all conference selections.
Naturally, AIC and BC, which both logged a 7-0-1 record, dominate the selections, with 21 of the 30 1st and 2nd team players.
The top six teams in the ECRC faced off against the top six teams from the Empire Conference Saturday in Saratoga Springs, NY, and the ECRC came away with a 6-0 sweep.
