This week we unveil our Men's D1 College rankings.

Now, there's a lot to say about all of this, although much of what will be said will be said by the teams on the field. What we'll say now is this:

We are forced to define our own category here with D1 teams. Why? Because there are teams that are part of NCR and teams that are part of American College Rugby and teams that are part of conferences that operate on their own. We've got independent teams that really don't have a home, and we've got a conference, the Liberty Conference, that announced it was out of D1A, but it listed as D1 by NCR (as opposed to D1AA) but are mixed up with other D1 conferences anyway.

So we've made our own decisions. These are the rankings for anyone not in D1A. Our opening-week D1A rankings are here>>

We have made decisions on our rankings based in part on which programs seem able to reload after shutdowns, which teams have been able to play, and who has enough of a history that we think they'll be OK. With the Liberty teams involved we've expanded this to a Top 50, but remember there will be a lot—a LOT—of changes going forward.
