Conference and Rankings Decisions in D1A Weekend
The California Conference decided its champion last week with Saint Mary's defeating Cal Poly in what turned out to be a close one.
This week we decide who takes 2nd with Cal Poly playing upstarts UC Santa Barbara. It's likely that the Mustangs are favored, but this has still been a good year for the Gauchos and we could well see them in the postseason in some form.

What a weekend.
Saint Mary's beat Cal Poly 43-38. Central Washington beat UCLA 47-41. Navy beat Penn State 29-26. Arizona beat BYU 32-22. So much fun. We're very happy to have been at UCLA vs CWU in-person.
Win Over BYU a Big Step for Arizona
It's easy to overlook a consequential result when so many exciting games happened in D1A over the weekend, but it's important not to miss that Arizona beat BYU 32-22.
Arizona has been taking steps to show their improvement, but those steps were somewhat obscured by the fact they lost those games.
