D1 Men College Games This Weekend, And Our Picks
A look at this weekend's D1A and D1AA games this weekend.
This weekend's major men's college games this weekend include an already-underway tour of Texas by Lindenwood, and several double-up weekends for major teams.
Grand Canyon gets its first games in the California Conference, playing twice this weekend, and the 'Lopes will likely come out 2-0.
Saint Mary's goes one better, in that the Gaels play two in one afternoon, hosting a very tough Utah Valley University and then Glendale's Academy team. Both games are LIVE on FloRugby (links below).
Here are our picks.

In D1AA, it's much more about conference play. The Pacific West opened up with a series of very close games, and some, such as Fresno State's defeat of Nevada, quite the surprise. Expect it to be close all around again this week.
Cal State Long Beach opens its Gold Coast account with another serious through about the playoffs. The new Florida D1AA conference is full of questions, and one major one will be answered when Florida and Central Florida face off.
