Back on the schedule the West Coast 7s collegiate tournament will be at the Olympic Training Center this weekend in Chula Vista, Calif.
We get some questions about merging our D1A and NCR D1 rankings, and we might be discussing that soon, but as we think about that it becomes clear to us that, at least right now, there are two teams significantly stronger than the rest.
And guess what? They're #1 and #2.
Well ... whaddayaknow ... our #2 lost; our #5 lost (to an unranked team, no less).

But we didn't.
Both the Falcons and the Cardinals are hovering in the Top 5, but now it's all up in the air.
University of Oregon pulled off a bit of a shocker this past weekend, beating #5-ranked Western Washington 17-15.
This was not expected, as WWU has been on top of the NCRC for quite a while and just beat a strong Boise State side 55-0.
