GRR: College Men
National Collegiate Rugby figures out two more finalists this weekend with their Men's D1 and D1AA semifinals.
All four semifinal games will be held at Penn State University Berks. Here's a look at who is playing and how they got there.
D1AALouisville vs Binghamton
Virginia Tech vs St. Joseph's
Loyola of Chicago entered the 2022 fall season with all sorts of questions.
On the search for a new Head Coach after Lance Houia moved to work with MTSU, and short players, there were real questions about the competitiveness of a team that had made the national playoffs as recently as 2019.
Virginia Tech's journey back to the NCR D1AA semifinals is a lesson in losing.
So we've had to make massive changes.
The important exercise in ranking DIA, NCR D1, and D1AA teams together is to see how they all match up. That was the purpose of ranking everyone together. And in the end we found out what we needed to know thanks to one game.
We always say that the playoffs will clarify the rankings and we'd like that, but sometimes it seems they muddle things, too.
