Kutztown University held off a tough Iona College team 33-24 Sunday in Rugby East action to keep pace with undefeated Army.

The Air Force Academy opened its West DIA account with a 55-30 defeat of Wyoming Saturday.

The Big Ten Universities Conference is quickly becoming a three-horse race to the top, with a fourth horse chugging along trying to catch up.
Indiana and Ohio State remained undefeated after big victories Saturday, while Wisconsin was idle and stayed at 2-0, Michigan improved to 2-1 with a blowout victory over Minnesota.
While several high-profile teams play some 7s, it's 15s time again for many top men's DI teams.
Games to watch: Force (#11) hosts #41 Wyoming is an all-ranked game, and #18 Boston College visits #40 New England College, new to the GRR rankings.
In Week 4 of the fall-only Men's DI college rankings, there's little change at the top, but lower down there's plenty of shifting.
(Note: Teams that play exclusively in the Spring - which, for our purposes, starts in January - are not ranked in the Fall.)
