GRR: College Men
After their win over Virginia this past weekend UNC-Wilmington is now ranked #1 in the GRR D2 rankings, and it didn’t hurt that they kicked off their season trying to play D1 competition such as UNC Chapel Hill, Wingate, and South Carolina.
The College Rugby Association of America has confirmed that the Fall Classic returns for 2025 and will return to the University of South Carolina Upstate in Spartanburg, SC.
In the top 15 or so everyone did what was expected in D1A.
Well, well, well.
So we have many changes. Most obvious is the #1 spot. Kentucky has done just fine, and we commend them for their tough schedule, and we also recognize that their game against Indiana really could have gone either way. But ... if you're not going to give a team like Louisville a shot at #1 after they thump both Bowling Green and Western Michigan, when would you?
We noticed we had something kind of weird here.
Michigan lost to Rio Grande, but we don't have Rio Grande in the rankings. Michigan also lost to Aquinas, and we do have Aquinas in the rankings, but below Michigan. Now, some would say that is, to coin a technical term, a "mistake."
