GRR: College Men
The Lonestar D1AA Conference decides its champion this week with an eight-team playoff.
Unlike many conferences, that go through their playoffs either with a semifinal and final over a weekend, or split their playoffs over multiple weeks. Not the Lonestar—they have shortened quarterfinals and semifinals on Saturday, and the final on Sunday.
Five teams from the Rugby East have announced that they are moving to NCR exclusively.
In the midst of a discussion about having all members be D1A, even if they also are NCR members, the teams that compete in NCR's postseason have decided to leave Rugby East and form a separate NCR-only Conference.
We were all set to make major changes this week and instead ... well, the rankings were backed up.
Penn State one spot ahead of UMW? Penn State wins by a try.
Life #2 and Lindenwood #4? Life wins by four points.
GRR's #1-ranked Cal team came out of the weekend with two victories.
On Saturday, Cal defeated Grand Canyon 86-21. This is a rebuilding GCU side, and they got a bit of a lesson rom an experienced Golden Bears outfit.
Scrumhalf Cormac Saint scored the opening two tries of the game and added six conversions, all in the first half, for 22 points on his own.
UC Santa Barbara won two big games over the weekend, shutting out UC Davis 47-0 on Friday, and taking a 57-17 decision over Sacramento State two days later.
