GRR: College Men
We've got a playoff game, more games that have playoff implications, and some big rivalries; it's all in this week in DIAA, DIA, and NCR DI rugby.
Check back for scores.
This weekend is loaded with really good matchups and games key to the various conference playoffs.
Check back here for scores.
Upstart Providence, having edged Coast Guard 12-6 last week, gets to back that up vs Sacred Heart. One result doesn't make a season, though, and Head Coach Mark Simpson-Daniel knows that.
So we delayed our rankings of D1A-level teams because the official D1A rankings came out this week and we were waiting for them.
Seemed only reasonable as we vote in that ranking. Below is the ranking that includes the current D1A teams plus the Liberty teams, which were in D1A before moving to NCR, and are eager to be ranked against this top level, so that's where we rank them.
The Big Game looms this weekend in the SCRC, as undefeated Tennessee faces undefeated Clemson in a game that will likely decide who is the top seed going into the conference playoffs.
The official D1A ranking, voted on by conferences and the media, is back with this week's Top 25.
These rankings are used, in part, to decide playoff matchups. Leading the way right now is Cal. The votes have also concluded that while Lindenwood may well have been the best team last season, with the players they graduated, they drop down a shade, to #4.
