Men D1AA Rankings 2026-27 Week 4

If you're not playing (and we don't have a solid idea that you're very strong), then you're going to move down in this ranking.

At the same time, we also had some serious questions regarding a few teams in D1AA, notably South Carolina, Principia, Sam Houston State, and Loyola of New Orleans.

A New Beginning at Adrian

Sam Chaney has quite a job to do and he has grabbed that job with both hands.

Named as Adrian College's Men's Head Coach last spring, Chaney is tasked with helping the school's rugby team recover.

Scares and Breakouts in NCR D1 Matches

At the top of NCR's DI the competition will be fierce this year.

As readers might have noticed, GRR opted last week to put Walsh in as the #1-ranked team in this division, and with that team being idle, some other programs had a chance to make themselves known.

Men D2 College Rankings Fall 2026 Week 1

At GRR we decided to wait until we saw some results before launching into our weekly Men's D2 College rankings.

And it was a good thing, too. 

This week, especially, saw teams that ended the fall of 2025 ranked and who have ended up falling out of the Top 40 this time around.

Some Changing of the Guard in Early D2 Results

It's a bit of the changing of the guard in Men's D2 college after the first big weekend of competition.

Shifts at the Liberty

It wasn't that long ago that Marist, RPI, and Albany were the top teams in the Liberty sphere. These are all good teams, however we're seeing some others coming to the fore in a conference that is becoming one of the better competitions in the division.
