GRR: Florida DIAA
St. Thomas University out of Florida is not ranked in GRR's D1AA rankings ... for now.
Florida’s D1AA league comes down to this Saturday as St. Thomas takes on Florida.
This is definitely an old-vs-new matchup with Florida being a club program that has been in action, and successful for a very long time. St. Thomas, on the other hand, is a quite new school-supported program with a paid coach and athletic-department status.
The spring D1AA season is coming to a head with two playoffs this weekend, another next weekend, and a weekend of bowl games and a championship at the beginning of May.
St. Thomas and Florida are the only undefeated teams left in the Florida D1AA after both won over the weekend.
Three teams are now unbeaten and atop the Florida D1AA Conference, as Florida, Florida State, and upstarts St. Thomas all won.
For the Florida Gators it was a close-run thing as South Florida scored early and added another to make it 10-0 before the Gators got going. USF still led just after halftime, 17-7 and around 50 minutes, after Isaiah Taylor's try, it was 22-7.
