GRR: University of Oregon
University of Oregon pulled off a bit of a shocker this past weekend, beating #5-ranked Western Washington 17-15.
This was not expected, as WWU has been on top of the NCRC for quite a while and just beat a strong Boise State side 55-0.
It was just a point too short but the University of Oregon can still walk away with some positive feelings.
Despite the fact that three teams had to bow out due to COVID issues, the college bracket of the Dennis Storer Classic went off nicely and Cal was, once again, crowned as champion.
Cal looked quite well drilled as the Bears went 3-0 on the weekend, beating UC Santa Cruz and Cal Poly on Saturday and UCLA on Sunday, scoring 100 points over three games and allowing only 11.
College action is mostly about tournaments this week as the winter-spring season kicks off in earnest.
The idea that college rugby conferences should follow college sports conferences in other sports isn't new, nor should it be followed universally, but it does have merit in specific areas.
