And then there will also be a three-way tie among Duke, UVA and VT at 2-5 if Tech knocks off UVA.

Re: D1 Women National Rankings
Still not buying this ranking system...Currently in this ranking, Florida is ranked #11 with a 10-6 record and a SOS of #22. They are 3 ranking numbers ahead of Loyola who is #14 with a 12-4 record and a SOS of #17....AND they beat Florida head to head....NCAA RPI has Loyola #11, Florida #12...Inside Lacrosse has Loyola #11, Florida #17, Coaches poll has Loyola #11, Florida #18...I see a trend
Sorry to pick on you, Florida and Loyola, but it doesn't pass the eye test for me. I appreciate the hard work that goes into that ranking system, but I just don't get it...

Re: D1 Women National Rankings
First, I get it. Head-to-head seems so obvious. But for ranking, it inevitably leaves teams chasing their tails. Though counter-intuitive, resumes are better than head-to-head. Second, if we had the same rankings as the others, why bother doing it. And, just because ours is different, it doesn't mean it's wrong. Quite frankly, I'm consistently amazed by the amount of Group Think amongst the Rankers. Even the Computer Rankings.
Florida vs. Loyola...
FL- Best wins over Stony Brook, Colorado, High Point and Brown: 535 Points. 6 losses: 3 don't hurt at all (Md, SU, UNC) and 3 hurt more (Loyola, Navy, Princeton).
Loyola- Best wins over FL, PSU, Navy, and BU: 533 Points. 4 losses: 2 don't hurt at all (SU, UVA) and 2 hurt more (JHU, Princeton).
Their points are actually very close. I'm surprised there are two teams between them. None the less, Florida's losses are a little worse while their wins are a little better. Yes, one of Loyola's wins is over Florida and... Florida has a better resume. In other words, grossly simplifying this, Loyola says, We beat you! And Florida says, Yes and we're ranked #11. We beat Stony Brook who is ranked #9. that's the general gist. It's really not so crazy.
Just checked Massey, his rankings are pretty good. i like his rationales, formulas, etc. and... He has Florida at 14 and Loyola at 15.

Re: D1 Women National Rankings
Interesting. I think Princeton beats the four teams directly above it. Maybe five, as I think the Tigresses improved over the season and UVA stayed about the same.
Re: D1 Women National Rankings
Bottomline, all 6 (and more) of these teams are very close in terms of quality Ws and Ls (which is how we do the rankings). The Brown loss didn't help P'ton (though it also didn't kill them) and... It's just really close. It's too bad that P'ton didn't get to play another team before BC. A UVA, Michigan, Denver, etc.

Re: D1 Women National Rankings
Understood. I didn’t mean it as a criticism of the poll or method. Just an observation that Princeton was a very good team this year.
Thanks for everything you’re doing and trying to do.

Re: D1 Women National Rankings
No offense taken. i'm agreeing.
Re: D1 Women National Rankings
sea (and whoever else), I didn't like an aspect of the methodology of the Rankings (the starting points) so i fixed this and re-ran it and... the D1 Women Rankings were updated.
