GRR: College Men
There are little changes in the Men's DII College rankings this week as results and how they relate to other results and teams filter through.
In a weekend of dramatic DII college games, one of the most dramatic was Northern Michigan’s 27-24 overtime defeat of Illinois State.
For NMU, it was a breakthrough game as it put the Moosemen in with an excellent chance of making the national playoffs. This from a team that was 1-5 last season.
Clemson continues to roll in the ACRL with a 60-14 defeat of North Carolina State that has all but clinched the conference for the Tigers.
After a long trip to Raleigh, NC, Clemson managed to start the game well, and worked the phases nicely to score two tries and a penalty kick in the first 15 minutes.
Two wild and tense games in the Tri-State Conference Sunday decided who would move on to the conference final.
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, which had been racking up big scores of late, had to battle with New Jersey Institute of Technology in a game that yielded just three tries and 18 points.
The national playoffs for Men's DII College are fast approaching with the play-in games in less than two weeks - here's who is in, or who is close:
