Re: Nike/US Lacrosse Preseason Rankings
With IWLCA poll at (posted below)...
The first couple items that seem to pop are that the coaches rank Colorado Mesa down 7 spots and have Fl Tech down three spots. Both had coaching changes.
Next up.. the coaches have Merrimack, Pace and Rollins higher than the Nike poll.
Given that the Sunshine State Coaches poll has Fl Tech fifth behind FSC, Rollins, Tampa and St. Leo... I would suspect Fl Tech is still too high but is closer to the IWLCA rank. I think the IWLCA rank of Rollins is about right.
With Pace graduating 10 seniors.. I would go w/ the Nike poll and on the flip side Merrimack graduated only a handful -- so I think the IWLCA is closer.
With that...next week will start the grand sorting.
