Goff Rankings
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.
Do we have changes this week in the women's D1 Elite rankings?
No. No we don't.
How could we move Lindenwood anywhere when they shut out Life the way they did?
How could we move Central Washington anywhere when they rode roughshod over GCU?
Of course starting a ranking each year is difficult, and starting it after all this shutdown (lack of) activity is even more difficult.
We still don't know for sure which teams will suit up, although we're getting a clearer picture of that every day.
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 first week of Boys HS Club rankings is somewhat like the School rankings except that there have been more HS Clubs in action so far.
We are still ranking teams much, much more on what we've seen so far combined with how close they are to playing. With several teams looking to play their first games as early as this coming weekend, we feel confident with this Top 20.
