 The RUGBYMag.com CPD rankings continue to perform well.
Of the 10 games this weekend the higher-ranked team won in eight. In one of the two so-called upsets, the teams were separated by only two spots in the rannkings, and the home team (Arkansas State) won by two points.
Overall, we count 50 CPD league matches, of which 44 have been won by the higher-ranked team. Four of the six upsets were by home teams. The only true road upset was Notre Dame of LSU in Baton Rouge. Three of the six upsets were decided by fewer than five points. The biggest miss for us, then, was when #12 Arizona State beat #10 Arizona by 23 points.
Still, we'll take an 88% success rate so far.
This week, obviously Arkansas State moves ahead of Life, even though it seems the two teams are essentially even. Penn State drifts down a couple of spots after their loss to Navy.
