GRR: Rankings
The big question regarding our latest NCR D1 rankings is ... should Queens return to #1?
We dropped Queens because they lost to Penn State, but then the Royals beat Life. Should that result drop Life out of #1 in D1A? Or both? Or neither?
In the end, we have to recognize that Rugby East is superbly difficult to win and superbly difficult to run through undefeated.
As you may well know, GRR is on tour in the UK at the moment so the timing of some of thing stuff could be weird.
We're posting Tuesday night, which is Tuesday afternoon back in the Lands of Liberty so we're not late ... just not super-on-time.
This was a wild week in D1AA and that's why this ranking comes out late.
We had so many important decisions to make.
As often happens with these rankings, anyone doing the rankings, at least those of us who use subjective methods, have to guard against over-reacting to one result.
No changes except one.
The #1 team, Queens, lost, and the #2 team, Brown, won a tough game ... perhaps their toughest of the season. We have to move Brown up to #1.
Queens stays high at #2 because they're still a very, very good team; they just ran up against an improving team on the road.
