GRR: Men DI Rankings
When judging who should be ranked #1, sometimes you have to balance wins and losses; not just look for an undefeated team.
Now, you'd be forgiven for assuming that Life University would garner the #1 team after beating Lindenwood, but that's not the case.
It's pretty obvious right now that the best college team playing rugby is Lindenwood.
The Lions remain at #1 while we should have had Arkansas State in the rankings last week and they come in. Davenport moves up after beating Iowa Central very well. That has to be one of Davenport's best results in some time.
Normally we rank men's college teams by division, with a D1A ranking separate from a D1AA ranking or DII, but this year is, of course, different from most, and we're just happy to see teams playing.
Our latest list of historical rankings looks at the past five season of D1A.
As we did with the Boys HS teams, we are looking back at the college rankings over the last few years.
It was in the 2016-17 season that we started to separate out the D1AA teams from the D1A teams in our rankings. For the most part, we used to just mix the D1A and D1AA teams into an all-D1 ranking. At the end of 2016-17 we separated them out.
