Pre-Playoff Put-up Time in D1A and D1AA

While there are some D1A games next week, the games this week are the final salvo before the playoff seedings come out. At present, if you look at GRR's rankings, we have this in the East: Mount St. Mary's at Life Mary Washington at Navy Arkansas State at Lindenwood Davenport at Army and this in the West: Grand Canyon at Saint Mary's Cal Poly at Central Washington Arizona at BYU UCLA at Cal However ... Cal plays at Saint Mary's, a game that could move the Gaels to the overall #1, or could completely shift everything around. Is CWU still in with a chance? Yes. Life? They play BYU, so a win against them will go a long way to keeping #1. Navy? yes they could be back. The seedings in the East or West 6-7-8 realm are all up in the air. UCLA vs Cal Poly and Arizona vs Army both have a huge influence on those games. Wild final @D1ARugby weekend before the playoff seedings come out. Let's talk about a couple of scenarios. pic.twitter.com/1sM8oDz5Z3 — Alex Goff (@goffrugbyreport) March 22, 2024 Not to ignore D1AA—we crown a California North champion this weekend. Western Washington gets a crucial pre-playoff test at Trinity Western, seeing as Boise State weren't able to play them in a game WWU really needed. And it's a massive test in Florida for St. Thomas as they face Florida State.
