GRR: College Men
The 12 Rugby East college teams met this week on a call to decide if they should all commit to playing in D1A instead of playing split, with five playing toward an NCR playoff and seven playing toward a CRAA D1A playoff.
Western Washington University Men's Rugby has signed on Adam Roberts as their new paid Head Coach.
We had more shifts in this final D2 ranking than you'd normally get after the finals weekend.
We wrap up this fall in our D1AA rankings after the NCR final.
We actually had a lot of thinking to do about this. Yes, of course, Kentucky is #1. The Wildcats were wire-to-wire this fall and there wasn't much doubt most of the season that they should be. Only their weird 8-7 SCRC final against Clemson sowed any doubt. But the final ... well the final sealed the deal.
And we come to our final NCR D1 rankings.
Since Week 4 Brown and Queens have been at the top of our rankings, switching back and forth. And they showed it in the final, with a very close game. In this case, #2 Brown beating #1 Queens 23-20. The performance of Brown of course puts them up to #1 and it also brings up St. Bonaventure to #3 after their 11-10 loss to Brown in the semis.
