D2 and Small College Playoffs This Weekend
The Men's D2 games are Friday and we have their Round of 16 followed by the Round of 16 for the Small College teams on Saturday.
Then everyone plays their quarterfinals on Sunday. So by the end of the day we'll have final fours for each bracket (same, actually, with NCR D1 and D1AA).
Rankings, Bragging Rights and More in D1A and NCR D1 Games
We have quite a bit to say about D1A and NCR D1 games, plus quite a bit to say about DIAA games, so this week we're splitting DIAA off into its own preview article.
Who Shook Things Up Across College Divisions?
There were a variety of cross-divisional games in men's college rugby this weekend, providing coaches with a different measuring stick than just their annual opposition.
Men's D1 College Games Ramp Up This Weekend
Rugby East is a very tough conference and it seems like every week there's going to be a big game in that conference.
Probably the most interesting matchup this week is Kutztown at St. Bonaventure. While Kutztown has already played a game this season, Bonnies goes right into conference play with only an alumni scrimmage under its belt.
Good Weekend for Rugby East Teams
Rugby East teams had a solid weekend playing against teams outside their conference.
Yes Navy and Army both lost to Trinity, the rugby team for Dublin University, but the scorelines, competitive at 36-14 and 38-7.
