GRR: College Men
Mary Washington defeated Belmont Abbey 36-11 Saturday in a non-conference early-season warmup for both.
It's early days in the college rugby fall but we've got some activity already.
We're listing D1A, NCR D1, and D1AA teams all together because they're playing each other, especially during non-conference time ... which is now. What we will do is label each team as to where they are competing ... as follows:
Let's be honest here, we're making a guess.
Right now this is a starting point based on last year, and a little sense of what's going to happen this year.
We're opening up the fall rankings season with our NCR D1 Top 20.
Why a top 20? Because there aren't quite enough teams to do a Top 25. That's OK, it makes it more exclusive in some way.
As we mentioned last week, the men’s D2 college playoff picture is a lot more open to student-supported club teams this year.
