DIA Rugby News
The Big Ten Conference has announced its All-Conference selections.
Ohio State loose forward Ben Richards and Indiana flyhalf Case Fleck have been named co-MVPs for the season, while Indiana center Will Chevalier was named Freshman of the Year. Richards played flanker and also hooker for Ohio State, and in fact received All-Conference honors at both positions (2nd team as hooker).

One of the biggest decisions we have to make in our rankings is whether to keep a tie as a tie in the rankings.
Yes Notre Dame College tied Davenport, but does that mean they have to be deadlocked from now on? This week, we've decided to separate the two. This is mostly because Davenport still has some games to play, and the data on NDC is pretty heavy, if a bit confused.
