GRR: College Men
We didn't update the D1A rankings this week because there were so few games.
But we will update weekly starting next week and don't worry, this past weekend's results will be factored in.
Regardless, here's GRR's commentary on the competitive balance in D1A.
It's the opening week for our D1AA men's rankings and in keeping with our overall plan to overhaul our rankings, we're making a change.
While we know that 7s and 15s are not the same and success in 7s does not necessarily translate to similar success in 15s ... but rugby is rugby and, as Mount St. Mary's is showing, confidence is confidence.
It was an intriguing weekend in Men's D1 college rugby as we saw quite a few cross-divisional matchups and, perhaps, some harbingers of how things might shake out this season.
Mary Washington defeated Belmont Abbey 36-11 Saturday in a non-conference early-season warmup for both.
