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.

Liberty Opens D1AA Season as Contenders Put Hands Up

Five games kicked off the Liberty D1AA season with some clear favorites putting their hands up.

In perhaps what was expected to be the most competitive matchup, Babson defeated UMass 34-29. This was a good showing for a Babson side that saw their Head Coach, Carrick Pell, move on to take the position at Norwich. In his place is former AIC Head Coach T. Fletcher.
