GRR: College Men
The two top men's small college teams will face off this coming weekend.
Franciscan and Slippery Rock are both 4-0 in conference play and are set for a massive clash this weekend.
A couple of more spring-centric D1A teams got in on the action this past weekend.
We caught up with them and other teams in our D1-level college rugby Gamebreakers.
Trevor Barrios, ColoradoThe Buffa loosehead prop was enormously influential in his side’s defeat of Grand Canyon, making some hard yards, playing tough defense, and leading from the front.
This was a relatively quiet D2 weekend because of the long weekend, but we did get some results that prompted some changes.
We've decided to rank D1AA teams per month in addition to some of our other rankings.
This is thanks to a request from readers and we are keeping it monthly because otherwise we'd never get anything done.
So this is only teams that play significantly in the fall and who are D1AA in either NCR, ACR/CRA, or independent.
The Mid-Atlantic Rugby Conference small-college scene is a little confused because the small-college teams mix up with the D2 teams, but the top smaller teams are coming to the fore.
Susquehanna, Penn State Berks, Widener, Catholic, and Gettysburg are all still undefeated and could well all make a splash on the national scene.
