Men D1AA College Rankings Fall Week 1

Kentucky is #1. And someone will have to knock them off. Alex Goff photo.

As we start the 2024-25 season, and some of the teams have indeed already played games, we are launching our D1AA rankings.

We don't make a lot of changes form the end of 2023-24, but we'd like to point out that we're ranking, currently, only the teams that are playing this fall. So anyone who plays largely in the winter/spring won't be in here. Remember also that we rank all of the D1AA-level teams, so CRAA, NCR, whatever, we're ranking them all together.

We are making a few changes based on some expected changes, recruits, or improvements. But, as you all know, the results tell the tale.


Thanks to Next Phase Rugby for supporting these rankings. Next Phase Rugby is how high school student-athletes connect with college rugby programs. Download the app at NextPhaseRugby.com
