Goff Rankings
Goff Rugby Report and FloRugby have concluded the Boys Single-School Rankings with the final rankings offering of the 2016-17 season.
Right at the end of the rankings period, we have been moving teams in and out of the Top 50, and even the Top 5. This final week was no different.
The choices we had to make at the top of the GRR-FloRugby Boys HS Club Rankings were fairly easy; it was further down that was hard.
There's nothing like a National Championship weekend to clarify your rankings, and there's nothing like a state playoff to at least give you some fodder for consideration.

The Goff Rugby Report / FloRugby Boys Single-School Rankings might be a little bit of a look into the Boys HS Rugby National Championships seedings.

The latest HS Club rankings are here, and the #1 team is still Fort Hunt.
However, there's plenty of movement in the Top 10. Royal Irish has been winning games, but very, very close games, and with other teams doing pretty well, it's more a case of others moving up than Royal Irish moving down. Doylestown and West Valley get a boost, and Granite Bay perhaps a belated one.

Not much to say this week in the All-DI Men's College rankings.
There were two games of note, with #1 beating #15, and #4 beating #2. So, naturally, #2 and #4 change a little.
There's movement in the top 10 and further down, as well, in the Boys HS Club Rankings.
Here is the latest Boys Single-School rankings.
We took a week off from the college rankings last week in part because it was such a busy week, and in part because there weren't a lot of results and they basically confirmed out expectations.
That wasn't the case for Navy v Central Washington, so fans of the US Naval Academy had to wait an extra week to see how their overtime win over the Wildcats would affect the rankings.
