GRR: College Men
Here are the Men's DI college games for this weekend.
Some conferences are getting very close to deciding who will be their #1.
Check back for scores.
It's a big weekend for several DII college conferences, as we find out who is the best among some leading or undefeated teams.
Among the most intriguing might be Illinois State against Northern Iowa. Both teams are unbeaten in the WIIL South, but ISU has not even allowed a point.
The Great Lakes Men’s DII Conference has come down to this weekend, as Grand Valley State takes on Oakland University.
GVSU is normally the favored team in this conference, and in fact did very well last year, winning the Great Lakes, beating Northern Iowa in the first round of the playoffs, and losing to eventual national champs Minnesota-Duluth 24-3 - a very creditable scoreline.
Coming off a tough loss to Kentucky, South Carolina has what amount to a must-win this weekend in the SCRC.
In writing about the Chesapeake Conference, where there seemed to be an inordinate number of close games, we decided to see if our impressions were correct.
So we looked at the stats in Men's DI College rugby. We looked at which conferences had the most close losses (7 points or less) and also who had the most, what we'll call "competitive losses," which means losses of 14 or less.
