College Fall Schedules: D1A and NCR D1

07.25.2023College Men

Men's D1A and NCR D1 conference schedules for the fall are here.

We're displaying these together mostly because there are a couple of conferences that include teams from both CRAA's D1A and NCR's D1. While it's generally considered true that NCR's fall D1 playoffs are not as challenging as the CRAA D1A playoffs in the spring, with the mix of teams in the Rugby East and Big 10, there's no reason to separate them in this list.

But, it might be useful to know the affiliation of each conference so fans and players can track what playoff path the teams will follow. We do not list the schedules from conferences that play in the winter/spring because those schedules aren't set yet, but we will list them in our breakdown of conferences.

CRAA D1A-Exclusive Conferences:
Midwest D1A
California D1A
PAC Rugby Conference
Red River Conference
Rocky Mountain
Independents (Arkansas State, Central Washington, Grand Canyon)

Conferences With CRAA and NCR Teams:
Rugby East
Big 10

(Big 10 looks to be close to half-and-half, Rocky Mountain might have one team in NCR, and Rugby East's split this coming fall is yet to be confirmed)

Conferences NCR D1 Exclusively:
Big Rivers
Liberty D1
Independents (Drury, Utah Valley)

Changes
The Midwest D1A Conference is brand new, with two teams from the old Mid-South plus two more teams. Red River adds TCU. Big Rivers adds Principia. Rugby East adds Life University and sees Virginia Tech move to the MARC in NCR's D1AA. Sacramento State is rumored to be moving up from California D1AA to D1A. Arkansas State is expected to be an independent in D1A. Rio Grande has joined NCR's Big Rivers Conference.

Following then is the schedule, with several non-conference games. But we probably don't have all of the non-conference games and we don't have the conferences or independent schedules that are in the winter/spring.
