GRR: ACRC
Boston College and Alabama both have their storied moments in college sports, but that doesn’t mean they have played each other much in rugby, if at all.
With BC coming off a humbling loss to AIC in what amounted to the ECRC championship game, and Alabama coming off a close loss to South Carolina in the SCRC semis, both will want to end on a high at the ACRC Bowl Series.
It’s rematch time at the SCRC final, as South Carolina and Tennessee meet up during the ACRC Bowl Series.
The ACRC Bowl Series has finalized its schedule, with ten games involving 19 ranked teams.
The games will be webcast live (check back to Goff Rugby Report for the live feeds). Next Level Rugby will run the feed, with Ryan Ginty and Alex Goff providing commentary. John Broker and one other will provide commentary for the Iona v Delaware Ice Bucket Challenge Bowl.
Some clashes between ranked teams, for the most part, went as expected, and because of that there aren't major changes in this fall's DI rankings.
Michigan's big loss to Wisconsin in the Big Ten 3rd/4th game shunts the Wolverines down a bit; Alabama's close loss to South Carolina moves the Tide up a bit; Arkansas beating Kansas shows us the Razorbacks are back ... so they move up.
The US Naval Academy capped off a 5-0 fall with a 37-17 defeat of Notre Dame College Saturday.
Navy and the Falcons were tied 17-17 just after halftime, but then Navy broke away in the second half.
