GRR: College Men
Alex Goff has a look at the NCR lawsuit against USA Rugby in this RuggaMatrix America podcast.
The podcast is video but works if you're just listening to it, as well.
There's one key word in there that might make a big difference.
We're coming into the playoff period for D1A and D1AA and at least in the D1AA the number of games is dropping down.
That's why we're listing the D1AA and D1A games together again and we'll probably finish the season that way. The biggest game is Florida at South Florida. The winner of that game will almost certainly be 2nd in the Florida CC North, and will secure a playoff spot.
Spoiler alert - not much changes here.
Let's talk playoffs. The rankings aren't related to playoffs ... the seedings in D1AA aren't influenced by GRR's rankings, while D1A is, slightly.
But we get to use the rankings to look at the playoffs.
Here's what's going to happen:
What a weekend of results.
We have spoken the last two years about parity in D1A, highlighted in part by the fact that the last three seasons have produced three different champions. This year the parity is on full display. No one team has a perfect record. No one team has a tight grasp on #1. Any team could emerge as a majo player in the playoffs.
Well ... that was interesting.
Here's what happened in D1A today.
No, I Don't Think SoCal Poly (GRR #11) put to rest any discussion of whether they would be overtaken for 2nd in the California Conference, as the Mustangs beat the upstart #21 UCSB Gauchos 73-13 to secure that 2nd spot.
