GRR: Men DI Rankings
Wow what an interesting week in Men's college rugby.
While our top two were not in the thick of it—Brown played a preseason game where they were heavily favored, and St. Bonaventure played their alumni—many others were. This big game so far was Notre Dame College at Thomas More, and NDC came away with a quite impressive road win and they, of course, move up.
We didn't update the D1A rankings this week because there were so few games.
But we will update weekly starting next week and don't worry, this past weekend's results will be factored in.
Regardless, here's GRR's commentary on the competitive balance in D1A.
It's the opening week for our D1AA men's rankings and in keeping with our overall plan to overhaul our rankings, we're making a change.
We're opening up the fall rankings season with our NCR D1 Top 20.
Why a top 20? Because there aren't quite enough teams to do a Top 25. That's OK, it makes it more exclusive in some way.
With the changing and shifting collegiate landscape, we've tried a number of different collegiate rankings and we think we've finally settled on a plan.
