GRR: College Men
While the National Intercollegiate Rugby Association (NIRA) getting into its second week, we're also seeing several women's D1 collegiate teams get on the field as well.
Men's DII College action gets going with as many as 16 games on the slate.
This may be the last time you see these rankings in this specific form.
With the split of NCR and CRAA and ACR and all the rest of it we're thinking of making a couple of adjustments. Rest assured, we'll still be ranking D1A teams and D1AA teams, but we'll probably change it a little.
This is our second week of what we're calling the All-D1 rankings, which basically takes out the CRAA teams (that's the easiest way to explain it).
We have several changes, which is something we warned you about. Our early rankings are based on the best information available and when the actual games happen, we have better data.
The Furman Invitational wrapped up with six shortened games among four teams in the Carolinas.
Furman (of course), new varsity program Belmont Abbey, DIAA program South Carolina, and Citadel (which, like Furman, has a new coach) met up.
