GRR: College Men
We have a new #1.
In fact, we kind of have to have a new #1.
As anyone who reads these pages frequently will know, just because you beat the #1 team doesn't mean you automatically go to #1. It could be that the #2 team is better poised to move up, or some other reason (like the team that beat #1 already lost to someone else).
Grand Canyon's two-game tour of Colorado wrapped up Sunday with a 24-15 loss to Colorado State.
As we outlined in the report on GCU's opening match, a 25-15 loss to Colorado, this is the first run-out for GCU with their D1A lineup and a good road test for them, wins or losses.
Not too many surprises in Men's D2 college action this weekend.
Virginia beat Hampden-Sydney 77-15, which was a very different result from the first time these two teams faced off. Two weeks ago these two teams tied, but UVA fielded a less experienced lineup for that game.
Bowling Green held on to beat Louisville 28-27 in the meeting between the top two teams in the Mid-American Conference DIAA league.
The Falcons ran out to a 21-10 halftime lead thanks to two tries by hooker Ben Young and one by fullback Joe Romshe. Center Joey Apel hit a penalty goal and wing Owen Slimmer landed a rare drop goal.
Life is now atop the Rugby East standings, but Queens is lurking close at 4-0.
