Press Release: www.rugbymag.com Central on the Move Up to #12
Men DI College Top 25
October 20, 2009
The University of Tennessee, unbeaten in a series of college friendlies and club games, showed that it wasn’t all smoke and mirrors as the Volunteers defeated #9 Colorado State and lost to #6 Colorado by only three in a two-game tour of the Rocky Mountain State.
That trip vaulted Tennessee right into the middle of the top-ranked teams, as the previously-unranked Vols jump to #7.
LSU, which beat the higher-ranked Arkansas State jumps up to #8 while ASU slips to #11. Among the other big moves is Wisconsin, now 3-0 in their Midwest league and winners over #12 Minnesota. The Badgers jump in at #14.
This weekend we will see plenty of action among ranked and almost-ranked teams. Among the events set for this weekend: #1 Navy v. #4 Delaware, #18 Kutztown v. #22 Rutgers, the Big XII (featuring #8 LSU and #16 Texas A&M), SEC (featuring #7 Tennessee), #12 Central Washington against aspiring U. Washington, #13 Ohio State v. Indiana, #20 Bowling Green v. cusp team Notre Dame, #10 CSU v. #17 Air Force, and #6 Colorado v. #23 Wyoming.
Yes, we’ll learn a lot this weekend.

Top 25: Early movement
By Brian Lowe
September 9, 2009
Yes, we know it’s still the preseason but that doesn’t mean there can’t be some movement on the Down Under Endeavors Top 25.
After all, quite a few games have been played since we released our initial preseason rankings in mid-August. As a consequence of the past two weeks’ matches, 14 teams are on the move in one direction or the other. Utah breaks into the top 10 after thrashing Utah Valley University, while Navy, Rutgers and Washington State all climb the ladder following victories on the Labor Day weekend. An idle UC Davis also benefits from all the movement above it.
Conversely, Dartmouth takes a slight dive following its 1-1 split at the Royall Lyme Classic primarily because it came away with a negative points differential.
Teams on the cusp include Delaware, Wyoming and South Carolina as each posted solid Ws on Labor Day.
1 (1) California (0-0) [5]
2 (2) Arkansas State (0-0) [3]
3 (3) BYU (0-0) [5]
4 (4) Kutztown (1-0) [4]
5 (5) St Mary’s (0-0) [5]
6 (6) Army (0-0) [2]
7 (7) LSU (0-0) [4]
8 (8) San Diego State (0-0) [4]
9 (9) Penn State (0-0) [4]

11 (10) Arizona (0-0) [4]
