GRR: College Men
We wrap up our All-D1 Fall ranking and it's been a bit of an experiment.
The longtime conventional wisdom has been that there's some crossover between D1A and D1AA teams (meaning some D1AA teams are stronger than some D1A teams). And with the development of NCR's D1, which includes teams that play in D1A conferences, that's also thought to be true.
This ranking was very, very tough to do.
OK, not the whole thing. Most of it was pretty straightforward. Sam Houston State gets a bump after a really impressive showing against Southern Nazarene. St. Joe's and Binghamton also move up after close losses in the NCR playoffs.
After the national semifinals and final we spent some time looking at past results and crossover results and tried to go at our rankings with an eye to taking them apart.
The Southern Rugby Conference has named its All-Conference selections in three divisions.
With competitions in D1AA, D2, and Small College, the Soutern covers plenty of bases.
The expanded Rugby East Conference has named its All-Conference selections for the fall of 2022.
