Goff Rankings
For most of the teams in DI-level rugby, the spring now means thinking about 7s and finals and rehashing the season.
For some, though, some sort of championships still beckons, and the games they are playing mean plenty - this is where a team has to be playing its best, and we assign plenty of importance to those games.
Well, we had a nice bunch of games in the Jesuit Rugby Classic, and that, along with the St. Edward win over St. Ignatius, colors much of what our rankings do this week.

We expanded our Goff Rugby Report HS Club Rankings for the second week in a row as more teams get involved and produce more results.
Gonzaga remains #1 after a good win over #4 Xavier (we love those sorts of matchups, but the Goff Rugby Report Boys Single-School Rankings have some shifts further down.
We took a long, hard look at the Men's DI rankings this week, trying to figure out if it's really just that simple - Dartmouth beat Penn State, so Dartmouth jumps up ahead of Penn State.
