GRR: College Men
The California Conference decided its champion last week with Saint Mary's defeating Cal Poly in what turned out to be a close one.
This week we decide who takes 2nd with Cal Poly playing upstarts UC Santa Barbara. It's likely that the Mustangs are favored, but this has still been a good year for the Gauchos and we could well see them in the postseason in some form.
Here's a look at some of the D1AA standouts of the past couple of weeks.
Corinthian Cormier, Sam Houston StateThe 8x8 Sports D1A player of the week, the No. 8 and sometime lock was a try-scoring force for the BearKats as they won the Lonestar playoffs.
While this past week's results didn't really change the top rankings, we do have some shifts further down in our Spring D1AA Top 25.
What a weekend.
Saint Mary's beat Cal Poly 43-38. Central Washington beat UCLA 47-41. Navy beat Penn State 29-26. Arizona beat BYU 32-22. So much fun. We're very happy to have been at UCLA vs CWU in-person.
It's easy to overlook a consequential result when so many exciting games happened in D1A over the weekend, but it's important not to miss that Arizona beat BYU 32-22.
Arizona has been taking steps to show their improvement, but those steps were somewhat obscured by the fact they lost those games.
