College Men
We skipped some time on this partly because GRR was traveling so we couldn't do everything we wanted.
In the end what this allowed was a shakeout of the weird results that have bubbled through D1A.
Life has beaten Navy, to be sure, but overall Navy's results have impressed a bit more. Beating BYU helped. So Navy moves back into the #1 spot.
We skipped last week because it was a bit slow, but those results do have an impact.
Combine all of those with the play-in games here's what we have:
In a wildly entertaining and tense Mid American Conference final, Bowling Green came back from 20 points down to defeat the Louisville Cardinals 34-33 and win the conference championship.
These teams have played twice this season, both Bowling Green victories, and both by a single point. The earlier match ended up 28-27 for the Falcons.
Well it wasn't a complete Rugby East sweep, as Big Rivers runners-up Wheeling defeated Kutztown 34-28 Sunday to move on to the NCR D1 quarterfinals.
With LSU's impressive victory on the road against NC State and a dramatic MAC final we now know our NCR D1AA final eight.
LSU beat South Carolina last week to take 3rd in the SCRC and that put them up against top Southern Conference team North Carolina State.
The Tigers won 40-10 and booked a spot in the NCR quarterfinals.
