GRR: College Men
Well as we said would happen, the rankings got a shakeup as major conference finals were held.
Some of the things we learned as a result:
Georgetown is indeed very good. The Hoyas beating a strong Villanova team by 46 is a serious result.
Brown won the Liberty D1 conference Saturday night, defeating AIC 33-14.
Brown took the lead within the first few minutes behind a surging forward pack. The pressure forced a penalty which led to a lineout and a maul. The game remained 7-0 for about 15 minutes. Much of that was AIC on the front foot, but Brown's defense was very good.
The MAC wrapped up this week and perhaps the only real question was whether IUPUI would be able to secure 4th.
With the top three already set it was just a question of whether IUPUI could beat Dayton, or whether Cincinnati could beat Western Michigan, or whether Pitt could eke out a couple of bonus points to make the other two teams' goals moot.
Davenport made some history Saturday, beating Life University for the first time ever.
It's been 20 losses in a row for Davenport against the Running Eagles, but the Panthers continue to persevere and this year had enjoyed a very strong buildup.
We have some more conference champions in Men's D2 college rugby.
GeorgetownThe Georgetown Hoyas not only won the MARC but won it in impressive fashion 65-19 over Villanova. Considering Villanova had only one opponent get closer than 20 points, that's a big score.
