GRR: College Men
In a game that had a somewhat winner-take-all (OK,, not all, but a lot) feel about it, Ohio State defeated Michigan 69-21 Friday night in Columbus, Ohio.
The victory ensured for the Buckeyes a place in the Big 10 semifinals, while Michigan will now be playing in the 5th-place semis.
As we've been saying in recent weeks, D2 is like pouring oil on water—the oil floats on top of the water and the top 15-20 teams are significantly stronger than the other teams.
Yes there might be one or two exceptions, but we probably know who will advance in the playoffs. That means that there don't end up being a lot of matchups where we're thinking "hey, check this one out!"
D1AA gets its share of upstarts each year, which is something we enjoy seeing.
This is a pretty significant weekend in D1A and NCR D1 college rugby.
The Rugby East conference title may well be decided this coming weekend.
Both Life University and the US Naval Academy are 4-0, and they play each other in Annapolis on Saturday.
These are teams that have been winning, and in fact winning well, for the most part. Not that it's been perfect.
