D1AA Hot 100 for Fall 2024: The Front Row
Back we come with our Hot 100 top players of the fall in D1AA rugby.
We cross boundaries and borders, recognizing the best players in conferences that play a significant amount of time in the fall. So you won't see some of the conferences that play mostly in the winter/spring listed here. At the same time, there are some players who might be eligible to be listed twice.
SJSU, ARC, and Fresno State Open with Wins in California Conference
The California D1AA Conference kicked off with three games and three of the teams thought to be conference title challengers all winning.
San Jose State opened their account with a 75-7 win over Nevada Reno.
“It was a solid first match out of the gates,” said Head Coach Nick Schlobohm, whose team allowed just a penalty try on the day.
Florida, California Steps Up in D1AA Weekend
Florida opens up their league season with one team on a massive high.
We talked quite a bit about St. Thomas out of Miami and the expectation is that this will be STU's final season in D1AA. They won Florida's D1AA league in 2023-24 and capped off that spring with a Bowl Game win against Air Force.

Who is the best D1AA college team in the nation?
It’s a tough question to answer because there are two very separate competition going on and, in the past year, two championship teams that looked about as good as anyone.
We’re talking, of course, about University of Kentucky and University of San Diego.
