GRR: ACRC
The ECRC Conference has come down to this weekend with 7-0 AIC facing off with 7-0 Boston College.
AIC was expected to be in this situation, showcasing a speedy, exciting team that can bring the grit up front. In fact, it might be the tight five of AIC that has impressed the most this season.
This week, there are nine DI men's college games in which the two teams playing are both ranked by Goff Rugby Report.
That's what happens when you've got playoffs, and even non-conference games at the end of the fall.
Check back here for scores over the weekend. Here are a few things to think about with these games:
The Empire Conference picks its champion this Sunday with Syracuse at Stony Brook.
The Stony Brook Sea Wolves finished the Empire Conference season 6-0, with Syracuse right behind at 5-1.
The two teams faced off September 26 at Stony Brook, with the Seas Wolves coming away 33-26 winners. This game promises to be just as tight.
Here’s a look at some of the players in DIA, DIAA, and ACRC rugby who had good games this past weekend.

The freshman Clemson back was something of a revelation in the Tigers’ defeat of NC State with two tries.
Kutztown University remains at #1 in the Goff Rugby Report fall rankings, with, in face, no change in the top 11.
Tennessee's win over South Carolina bumps the Vols up a little and St. Bonaventure comes in at #39 after beating Notre Dame College. It's interesting to rank a team that's 1-5 in conference play, but you know we'll be doing the same in the spring.
