GRR: Rankings
Well it's still early days with the D1 Elite rankings.
This coming weekend we may well see three games that have a bearing on how the rankings move from now on.
Life University was originally slated to play Penn State, but Penn State has not been able to take the field, and that's a shame because Penn State would have certainly enhanced this group.
It's pretty obvious right now that the best college team playing rugby is Lindenwood.
The Lions remain at #1 while we should have had Arkansas State in the rankings last week and they come in. Davenport moves up after beating Iowa Central very well. That has to be one of Davenport's best results in some time.
Week 2 of our Boys High School Club rankings wes several changes, as we told you we would.
The key change of course is that the San Diego Mustangs got on the field and won on the road in Tempe. That's a tough game to win, and at the moment that's enough to bump the Mustangs up significantly.
Do we have changes this week in the women's D1 Elite rankings?
No. No we don't.
How could we move Lindenwood anywhere when they shut out Life the way they did?
How could we move Central Washington anywhere when they rode roughshod over GCU?
Of course starting a ranking each year is difficult, and starting it after all this shutdown (lack of) activity is even more difficult.
We still don't know for sure which teams will suit up, although we're getting a clearer picture of that every day.
