GRR: College Men
The Varsity Cup has confirmed the matchup of teams in this year’s bracket.
As previously announced, BYU and Cal, the finalists the last two years, get a bye into the quarterfinals.
BYU will play the winner of UCLA v Air Force. In the other half of the BYU bracket, Utah takes on Oklahoma, and Central Washington faces Arizona State.
March is almost half over and it’s time to start thinking about DIAA playoffs.
That’s right, even though it’s more than a month before we really start worrying about national playoffs, some scenarios are already clearing up. Here’s what we know:
With their 41-28 defeat of Stanford, Chico State is now firmly in 2nd place in the Pacific West DIAA Conference, and have UC Davis in their sights.
Davis, of course, won the first-round meeting between the two teams 18-15, and that might have set the tone for Chico State’s season. But they have the playoffs in April to redeem themselves, and they think they can.
USA Rugby has 24 slots to fill in their Men’s College 7s Championships, and deciding who gets to fill those slots will be a tough job.
The California Conference may well be all wrapped up for the St. Mary’s Gaels, but 2nd place isn’t a bad place to be, and San Diego State might well end up there.
After winning a wild one 59-44 over Santa Clara, the Aztecs are now 2-1 and only have their April 12 clash with Cal Poly left on the docket (Cal Poly is 1-1 and plays 0-2 UC Santa Barbara this Friday).
