Goff Rankings
In the Goff Rugby Report rankings that includes some of the NCR teams, this has been a tough time. Several Liberty teams produced wins but ended up dropping down, mainly because they beat other Liberty teams in very close games. Meanwhile, a few teams outside of that competition made big strides (Baylor, Michigan State, Utah Valley) and thus just pushed everyone down a spot or two.
We have a very complicated situation to deal with, which we will in some detail, so let's dispense with the less complicated stuff.
If Furman had lost to Belmont Abbey it's likely Norwich, having beaten two highly-ranked teams in convincing fashion, would have been #1.
So we delayed our rankings of D1A-level teams because the official D1A rankings came out this week and we were waiting for them.
Seemed only reasonable as we vote in that ranking. Below is the ranking that includes the current D1A teams plus the Liberty teams, which were in D1A before moving to NCR, and are eager to be ranked against this top level, so that's where we rank them.
Dartmouth moves to #1 after beating Army, but will have to back that up to stay there.
Bowling Green is still in a strong position and there are some key games coming up in the Chesapeake that could shake up these rankings. Bowling Green vs U. Notre Dame, Clemson at Tennessee, and Salisbury at Rowan are all coming up this weekend.
Brown gets a move up after beating Yale.
