The Rugby East is going down to the wire, just like everyone wanted.
With Navy's win over Army, there is still a chance for St. Bonaventure to sit atop the heap. It's a little complicated, but here's how it goes:
1. We have been tracking Rugby East as one single conference, which is right, but also not. The thing is, teams don't all play the same number of games, so we could have ended up with, say, Queens at 7-0 and Navy at 7-2 or 8-1 ... which is the better team? As it is, the top points-getter is and will be Navy. No one can catch them.
| Rugby East-Overall | W | L | T | PF | PA | PD | BT | BL | Pts |
| Navy | 8 | 0 | 0 | 350 | 98 | 252 | 6 | 0 | 38 |
| Army | 6 | 1 | 0 | 210 | 92 | 118 | 6 | 0 | 30 |
| St. Bonaventure | 6 | 1 | 0 | 274 | 124 | 150 | 5 | 0 | 29 |
| Queens | 5 | 1 | 0 | 211 | 112 | 99 | 5 | 0 | 25 |
| Notre Dame College | 3 | 4 | 0 | 202 | 198 | 4 | 3 | 1 | 16 |
| Penn State | 3 | 5 | 0 | 178 | 226 | -48 | 3 | 0 | 15 |
| Kutztown | 2 | 4 | 0 | 145 | 186 | -41 | 3 | 1 | 12 |
| Mary Washington | 2 | 5 | 0 | 133 | 160 | -27 | 2 | 0 | 10 |
| Mount St. Mary's | 2 | 5 | 0 | 88 | 203 | -115 | 0 | 0 | 8 |
| Southern Virginia | 1 | 6 | 0 | 130 | 262 | -132 | 3 | 1 | 8 |
| Virginia Tech | 0 | 6 | 0 | 32 | 292 | -260 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
2. But ... because the schedule and the merger (Rugby East and Chesapeake) was decided relatively late, there were some other non-conference games to deal with. So to even that out there's also a divisional component, and there are standings for a North and South Division.
| North | W | L | T | Pts |
| Army | 4 | 1 | 0 | 20 |
| Navy | 4 | 0 | 0 | 19 |
| St. Bonaventure | 3 | 1 | 0 | 14 |
| Kutztown | 1 | 4 | 0 | 7 |
| Notre Dame College | 1 | 3 | 0 | 6 |
| Penn State | 0 | 4 | 0 | 1 |
| South | W | L | T | Pts |
| Queens | 3 | 0 | 0 | 15 |
| Mary Washington | 2 | 2 | 0 | 10 |
| Mount St. Mary's | 2 | 1 | 0 | 8 |
| Southern Virginia | 1 | 2 | 0 | 6 |
| Virginia Tech | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 |
3. So what means is this: if St. Bonaventure beats Navy, they would take 2nd overall and 2nd in the North, but could make a decent argument for being the top team overall. If Navy beats St. Bonaventure, the Midshipmen are undisputed top dogs in the North Division and also overall. Queens has the South sewn up.
