Patriot League pre season top-20 ranked teams
14. Loyola What's life without Pat Spencer, Jacob Stover and Chase Scanlan going to look like for Gang Green? Aidan Olmstead and Kevin Lindley seize the moment. LSM Ryan McNulty is a havoc creator — he can actually cover the ball-carrier which is seemingly becoming a lost art for offensive-minded LSMs. The schedule is tough, facing Virginia, Johns Hopkins, Rutgers, Towson, and Duke in the first month.
15. Army The Cadets will have firepower led by quick-witted Brendan Nichtern and a handful of top scorers from 2019, but will a new goalie and top defender be enough in their annual ritual of close games? Patriot League feels like trail mix. CBS Sports will televise 10 or so Patriot League games this season.
20. Lehigh Unless they upset either Penn State or Virginia, their non-conference slate (average RPI 44) offers little entry as an at-large selection, although the Patriot League is wide open and Lehigh will win boatloads of face-offs — which is why the IL brain trust slots them here ahead of Delaware, Albany, Navy, ’Nova, Rutgers, Princeton, Hofstra, Drexel, Richmond, Bucknell, RoMo, Michigan and Marquette.

Navy vs. Lehigh in 2020 PLT with Mids earning the tourney title and AQ for NCAAT. Go Mids!
Re: Patriot League Final Prediction (Poll)
Obviously being a little biased, but i see Loyola's non conference schedule as grueling and preparing for patriot league play. It is not where you start it is where you finish and I see Coach Toomey having all the pieces in place by tournament time

Re: Patriot League 2020 Championship Final Prediction (Poll)
I did see any one new from Navy, Even BU had a pretty big dump off. This is how the coaches see it. After the top three Army, Loyola and Leigh I think it will be tight. I put Army first for ya Lenwood.

Re: Patriot League Final Prediction (Poll)
Agreed - I think it's in jest, but IMHO, Navy, and the Patriot League in general, add good (really good) players / exceptional student-athletes, EVERY year...one of the many attributes that makes the PL so attractive to compete in for serious student-athletes. John Feinstein captured that aspect of the PL twenty years ago in his book, The Last Amateurs, and it's still relevant today.smoova wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 1:31 pmThis cannot be a serious comment.Lenwood117 wrote: ↑Tue Jan 21, 2020 7:54 amDid Navy add some good players this year, or just new coaches?laxxygilmore wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 8:39 pm Navy vs. Lehigh in 2020 PLT with Mids earning the tourney title and AQ for NCAAT.

A fraudulent intent, however carefully concealed at the outset, will generally, in the end, betray itself.

Re: Patriot League 2020 Championship Final Prediction (Poll)
Hmm...IMHO, looks like a misguided preseason pick by the 2020 PL coaches and SIDs for Navy at #5 in the PL...however, VERY well guided pick for Gk Ryan Kern on the preseason all-league team.

Re: Patriot League 2020 Championship Final Prediction (Poll)
Schedules prior to first week of PL play on February 29th
Care to guess early season records?
Loyola plays UVA/JHU/Rutgers/Towson 1-3 or 2-2? Probably very unlikely to happen but is there an outside shot at 0-4 without the three Ss (Spencer/Stover/Scanlan)?
Army plays Mass/NJIT/Rutgers/Marist/Cuse 2-3 or 3-2?
Lehigh plays UT/UVA/VMI/NJIT 3-1 or 4-0?
Navy plays Manhattan/Furman/Rich/MD 2-2 or 3-1?
Bucknell plays Furman/Bryant/SHU/OSU/Binghamton 3-2 or 4-1?

Re: Patriot League 2020 Championship Final Prediction (Poll)
I agree that the first is the toughest one.
Maybe I am underestimating UT, but I didn't want to use 2-2 since losing more than one of the first four games on that schedule would be a disaster.
Could Marist be a landmine for Army?
