GRR: College Men
Rugby in the South owes a great deal to the University of Tennessee, which carried the banner when many other colleges and clubs were barely hanging on.
Earlier this season Middlebury College Head Coach John Phillips offered a very muted assessment of his team, warning that the Panthers were young, inexperienced, and up against it with AIC and Boston College in the ECRC.
Well AIC is still on the docket, but BC is not anymore, as Middlebury upset the Eagles 23-18 on Saturday.
It's been two weeks since we unleashed our last Men's DII Rankings, so there's much to cover in this edition.
Take a look at the MARC Men's DII conference and you'll see plenty of teams with nice records, such as IUP and Rowan in Tier I, and East Stroudsburg and York in Tier II, but if you look closer you'll see that the team to watch is another - Notre Dame College.
The Rugby Northeast season is coming to a close, and it may be that the league was decided way back on September 19.
It was then tat Bentley defeated UMass-Lowell 54-24. Since then, both have been undefeated, and one wonders of Lowell would like another crack at the league leaders.
