re: #24 LSU Rugby vs #25 Texas A&M in Houston - Sat @4:00

Well, it looks like LSU did not get near the rankings boost as I expected. The Tigers only jumped 2 spots to #25.


Here are the current FloRugby D1 Rankings.

And the D1A Recap

---

Red River conference play continued with one surprise as Oklahoma handed Baylor its first loss of the season, winning 40-29. In Lubbock Texas, Arkansas defeated Texas Tech 59-30. The race to the top of Red River South got a little more interesting with LSU knocking off Texas A&M 17-10. Texas beat Houston to stay in the mix in the South, so now Texas and Texas A&M sit at 4-1 while LSU is 3-0.

---

The only teams they jumped were fellow conference foes that lost, A&M and Baylor. This cements the likelihood that the Red River will only have one team make the playoff again this year. LSU is still essentially atop the Red River as the lone team undefeated in conference and highest rank at #25. However, the margin is slim this year with Texas A&M and Baylor sitting at #26 and #27 respectively.

Baylor has already clinched the Red River North and will play the South champion which is boiling down to LSU, A&M, and sleeper Texas. LSU can knock Texas out of the race with a win in Austin this upcoming weekend.

This is a potential trap game for the Tigers with a rematch against a fierce Aggie team coming up the following week. UT is currently sitting at 4-1 with their lone loss coming against A&M back in November. Hopefully LSU will be able to take care of business and retain their unblemished record.
