Goff Rankings
Here's how Goff Rugby Report is voting in this week's D1A rankings. We have no changes in the Top 10. St. Bonaventure did very well, but so did everyone else. You could argue that Kutztown should drop down due to a loss, but that was a last-second loss against the team ranked one spot above—seems like the right spot, for now.
Preseason warmups are just about done and DIA teams are deep into conference play, for the most part.
Kutztown, having defeated Army, goes against the US Naval Academy this time, albeit in a non-conference game.
Minnesota, having logged a key win over Purdue now looks to Michigan.
The Liberty is still a dogfight.
This is a huge weekend in DIA and DIAA college rugby with most of the active conferences getting underway, if they haven't already.
Some relatively idle teams with rankings aspirations, such as James Madison, Brown, Salisbury, and Arkansas have games this weekend.
This is how GoffRugbyReport will vote in this week's DIA rankings.
There are some teams that moved up but who didn't make the top 40, such as Syracuse, Boston College, and Northeastern. Illinois moved up thanks to a very close loss, while your biggest movers are Utah State (crushed Wyoming), and Minnesota (beat Purdue).
Here are our HS Select-Side rankings for JV boys teams —also known as Tier 2.
We looked at how teams performed in the tournaments and gave some losing teams credit for close losses. But if you are inconsistent, that drops you down.
