D1A Roundup: Some Startups in Arizona and Rugby East Leaders Roll
It was a busy D1A weekend with a couple of teams getting some first looks.
Navy vs Mount St. Mary's
Navy finally got to their #1 rankings and will hold onto it as they beat Mount St. Mary's 62-10.
Navy remains unbeaten in overall play and, then, logically, also in the Rugby East.
Storming First Half Sees Ohio State Past Indiana
Ohio State rode a 35-point first half to defeat Indiana 42-25 on a chilly Friday night in Columbus, Ohio.
The victory doesn't affect the Big Ten standings but it does set up a nice narrative for what could well be the conference final.
West Coast D1A Teams Log Good Starts
The West Coast D1A teams are starting to play and this week a couple of teams looked for some competition outside of the division.
D1A Rankings for 2026-27 Week 8
When would we move a team up to #1 past what is undoubtedly an excellent Cal team?
Well, we think, if you're undefeated, have beaten pretty much everyone by convincing margins, and then beat Life on the road, that's about it.
So Navy moves up to our #1.
Ohio State Pushes Lindenwood in Midwest Conference Opener
One of the more interesting results of the weekend in collegiate rugby was Lindenwood's 41-21 win over Ohio State.
This game was a 34-21 until the final moments, and while it was unlikely at the end that the Buckeyes would pull this out, they were in a position to make it a one-score game.
