GRR: Rankings
Two of the top three won in a fashion we'd expect. Arizona won and nudges ahead of UCLA (UCLA's ranking ahead of Arizona was somewhat speculative anyway), and despite losing a competitive Grand Canyon rises into our Top 20.
So we waited a little bit before launching out 2020 season HS Club rankings.
A few teams have already logged results, notably Marin, Bayou Hurricanes, Irvine Rhinos, Belmont Shore, and Phoenix Alpharetta.
We have expectations of other teams, and rank accordingly, but as they say every plan only last until you engage the enemy.
There is a ton of rugby to be played.
Well with D1A teams getting a few more games done this week, we have a little more to do when it comes to the rankings.
We don't have a lot of explanation here for our final DIAA rankings of the fall.
Iowa Central was ranked #2 going into the final, and beat Western Michigan. WMU did well enough to keep #2 at the moment, but remember that several of these teams have games to play in the spring.
Here is our final Men's DII 15s rankings for the 2019 fall season.
Picking the #1 is fairly easy. The big concern on Queens had been that they hadn't played opponents whose strength we were sure of, and they had a loss to NSCRO team Southern Virginia in there, too. Even so, Queens we never lower than #8, and bumped up to #2 after the first rounds of the playoffs.
