Cross-Continental Clash Highlights D1 Elite Games
After a year of experimenting with a fall-only 15s schedule the women’s D1 Elite league is back to a fall-spring run, with two extra teams.
Life, Lindenwood, and Penn State are now the eastern half of the league, with BYU, Grand Canyon, and Central Washington in the western side.
How This Weekend Might Have Affected the NIRA Power Ratings
NIRA action outside of DI was relatively quiet as many teams played cross-divisional matches, but in DI it was a big weekend, one with potentially significant ramifications within the new Power Ratings.

NIRA D1 By The Numbers
NIRA’s standings are out and if you’re looking at the D1 standings you’ll see a whole bunch of weird numbers.
Already Important Matchups in Men's DII College
DII conferences have close to 50 games this weekend.
Matchups to watch: Villanova vs Bucknell is certainly a big one in the MARC. The Great Midwest has four games with Loyola at Illinois State and Marquette at Nothern Iowa both games with plenty on the line.
Playoff Implications in NIRA Weekend
It's a relatively quiet NIRA weekend, but there are still some key games to watch.
Army at Harvard is important for both. If Harvard wants to chase a championship they have to be careful about looking beyond a wounded West Point side. Army, for their part, could shake things up and drastically improve their playoff picture with a win.
