The University of Houston goes into the Southwest Rugby Conference 7s championships as the #1 seed after going 10-1 in the previous two tournaments.
In the opening tournament April 2, Houston defeated Texas State 38-0, Texas Tech 12-7, North Texas 31-7, North Texas Bs 31-12, and Sam Houston 24-12 in going 5-0.
We took a long, hard look at the Men's DI rankings this week, trying to figure out if it's really just that simple - Dartmouth beat Penn State, so Dartmouth jumps up ahead of Penn State.
UC Davis defeated Nevada-Reno 35-3 and Sacramento State 40-29 to win the Pacific Western conference title this past weekend.
With the victory, Davis gets a home playoff game in the DIAA Round of 16, and an excellent shot at repeating the title they won last season. Sac State, by virtue of the Hornets' 25-17 win over Chico State, also has qualified for the DIAA playoffs.
Harvard will join the DIAA Round of 16 after the Crimson won two games in an Ivy League play-in this past weekend.
Harvard defeated Princeton 25-21 on Saturday and then held off Cornell 21-14 on Sunday to win the tournament (the Ivy League champion, Dartmouth, does not play in the DIAA playoffs, so the next four teams compete to find the seed to nationals).
Here's the latest on College 7s Tournaments around the country.
