GRR: Rankings
What in the world is going on in D1AA rugby in the spring?
We're waiting, impatiently really, for the Southern California teams to get going and we're reluctant to drop them down because the bulk of those teams have been playing in single-school competition.
And the Raptors, at least, will be in action this week and we're interested to see how that goes.
We debated for a while the idea of moving St. Ignatius up to #2 or #1.
However, a couple of things prevented that: 1) Herriman won pretty well and so there was no reason to move them back; 2) St. Ignatius and Gonzaga play this weekend. So, instead of making a preemptive judgment on that upcoming game, we'll wait to see what's what.
Much movement this week.
Woodlands takes over the #1 spot after two nice wins on tour. Belmont Shore hasn't really done anything wrong, but we haven't seen them play much so that means they drift down a little. Ranked teams are kind of like sharks—they have to keep swimming to stop themselves from sinking.
Not a lot of changes in our DIA Rankings this week.
In the end, everyone did just about what the rankings would expect. Cal is a great example of that. Ranked #5 by GRR and #4 by the entire DIA voting process, Cal beat #7 Army a week ago 31-14, and then lost to #1 Navy 33-28. Central Washington, ranked #2 by GRR, beat Army 36-14.
