GRR: College Men
We’ve been wanting to do a Gamebreakers column for college players for a few weeks now, and somehow the week always seems to end before we can do it.
Well, this time, we’ve made it a priority. The selections are based on performances throughout the past couple of weeks.
Don’t look now, but there might be a wolf behind.
Or maybe a whole pack.
While the likes of UC Davis, Sacramento State, and Chico State have been battling through the Pacific Western Collegiate Rugby Conference, Nevada has quietly racked up a 4-1 conference record.
The regular league season came to a close for Southern California and Grand Canyon Universities this past weekend as the two teams met in Las Vegas.
Although they had already secured a playoff spot in the Gold Coast Conference, USC needed to achieve at least a double-bonus-point-loss in order to maintain their hold on a first or second place finish and a home playoff match.
BYU and Cal have done enough to keep their top two spots in the Goff Rugby Report All-DI Men's College Rankings; meanwhile Life could have moved past St. Mary's again, but we've kept them unmoved at the moment.
Navy moves past Penn State after beating the Nittany Lions, and UC Davis, Army, and Arizona also move up.
The big scores have been coming in for Arkansas in the Heart of America Conference, but there’s more important work to be done.
