RMAC Action
A trio of 7-1 Colorado teams from the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference dot the Division II Coaches’ Poll rankings, though a dose of intra-conference cannibalization may change that.
CSU-Pueblo dominated Colorado School of Mines last Saturday, 49-21, and now rank No. 4 in the nation, while the Orediggers slipped to No. 12 after the loss.
Led by the nation’s leading rusher and Littleton product Cameron McDondle, the ThunderWolves will have the opportunity to run the table the rest of the way. Aside from a top-25 date with Colorado Mesa on Nov. 7, the rest of the schedule features a pair of winless teams—New Mexico Highlands and Chadron St.
Having moved up to No. 19 in the polls with a 21-13 win over Fort Lewis, Colorado Mesa will now play the Colorado School of Mines in an RMAC contest. Juggernauts on either side of the ball will be showcased in this matchup. Colorado Mesa sports the second-ranked scoring defense in the land, allowing an average of just 12.5 points per game. Quarterback Justin Dvorak for Colorado Mines has thrown for 2,806 yards so far this year, which comes in at third-best in the nation.
