The Lonestar D1AA Conference decides its champion this week with an eight-team playoff.
Unlike many conferences, that go through their playoffs either with a semifinal and final over a weekend, or split their playoffs over multiple weeks. Not the Lonestar—they have shortened quarterfinals and semifinals on Saturday, and the final on Sunday.
With a week to go before Lonestar's final tournament, it gets a little quieter in Texas.
But in the California Conference we're full-on and Claremont Colleges vs Fresno State will be a very interesting clash.
South Florida vs Florida State is another big one to watch.
Last week GRR outlined how tight the NCRC is, and maybe a few questions were answered this past week, but not a lot.
Boise State was able to hold off Oregon State 27-22, while Oregon beat Washington 14-12. What that did was this:
Western Washington traveled to Grand Canyon over the weekend in a D1AA/D1A crossover match, and while GCU came away with the win, the Vikings have to feel relatively good about it all.
Led by an impressive game from Eli Ashmann, who scored four tries and set up a fifth, Western actually led fairly late in the game 34-31.
And we finish up our D1AA Fall Hot 100 with the playmakers: Scrumhalf and Flyhalf.
Of course, it's not 100 players, it's right around 150. But that's OK. We like recognizing players.
Thanks to James Stelluti for doing the hard yards on the research on this list.
We recognize our 11 scrumhalves and 12 flyhalves.
We also have out other positions:
