GRR: College Men
The Keystone Conference has gone pretty much according to the form sheet with only one or two little hiccups this season, and now with the playoffs coming a few potential upsets rear their heads.
Eight of the ten Keystone teams are in the quarterfinals, and while the top two from each division would have to be favored, this is a perfect time for someone to slip up.
A couple of notable results were recorded over the past weekend, as two teams that have not won much at all this fall found themselves in the W column.
St. Bonaventure, 1-5 in the Rugby East, defeated #16 Notre Dame College 34-29. Buffalo, 0-6 in Rugby East, faced a longtime rival in Brockport, and won big, 101-17.
The Northern Lights conference seems like such a foregone conclusion that USA Rugby and Goff Rugby Report both made the same mistake, penciling in Minnesota-Duluth as the conference champion before the conference playoffs.
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.
