GRR: College Men
Not that you should feel sorry for us at all but this week's rankings seemed especially difficult.
Loyola's 68-0 win over Washington University should put teams on notice.
Can they beat Auburn in the Round of 16? Certainly pitching a shutout in the play-in game is something to take a look at. Winning 68-0 is an indication that this rapidly-improving team is hitting its stride at just the right time.
The University of California won their ninth PAC Rugby 7s, defeating Arizona in the final Sunday at Stanford University.
The PAC 7s ran two days, with Pool Play on Day One and the semifinals and finals on Sunday.
We didn't see too many of the Top 10 in action this week but about 14 ranked #10 to #35 did play.
As we have always said, the playoffs always shake up the rankings. When so few D2 teams play outside their conference it remains difficult to judge the level of play.
The Big Ten Universities held their championship weekend at the University of Notre Dame on Saturday.
All eight teams were in action plying for 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th respectively.
