GRR: College Men
The top two teams remain the same this week in our D2 rankings but we've got changes after that.
Colorado State won their opening Rocky Mountain Conference game and right now it looks like, again, there's a hot chase for 2nd in the conference as BYU remains the front-runner.
This is actually a very difficult NCR D1 ranking to put together.
That is the case because, in part, some of the higher-ranked teams lost, but they lost against very, very strong D1A opposition such as Life University and Mary Washington. At the same time, we have some teams lower down in the Top 20 that won, but they end up moving down.
The Big 10 did actually get to start its season in its expected form last week and this week we have four games on the slate.
A week after beating Illinois, Ohio State put in a very good result over Michigan State.
The Buckeyes were led by wing Jayden Garnes, who scored two tries and set up another in a nice example of OSU playing some open-field rugby.
University of New Hampshire is currently the only team that is 209 in the NACR after they just barely edged past Coast Guard Academy 7-5.
That was a a major early-season clash Friday night and it's pretty clear that these two teams are very close. Still, UNH won by a conversion and go to 2-0. Coash Guard gets a close-loss bonus point so they're not too far away.
