hurst, you mean to have UDel at #2?

[FanLax Computer]

WCLA! HEY! WCLA! Pitt check, UCLA check, Michigan... wrong, Georgia... wrong. Humans, switch these two. They both beat Cal Poly and San Diego State... AND Georgia also beat Santa Clara. And Georgia doesn't have a loss. C'mon humans!

hurst, you mean to have UDel at #2?

absolutely I do

They haven't played a game yet this year so they can't be voted into the WCLA poll but they are a great team and return some firepower, so until I see a reason not to I would have them as the #2 team. They return their top 3 goal scorers from last year plus their goalie was a Freshman last year so they will have solid play there. They are going to be a dangerous team.

If they haven't played a game, they don't exist. I know not of this team you call U Delaware.

FL Comp you better check your algorithm!! Georgia lost to UCLA as well but based on comparison scores against the 4 west coast teams Michigan and Georgia have played they are pretty even, should be fun to see how their game goes when they meet in Pittsburgh towards the end of March!

If they haven't played a game, they don't exist. I know not of this team you call U Delaware.

They have now played 2 games!! One was a big loss to Maryland ... definitely not expected, anyone have any info on this game?!??! It was at Maryland, Looks like my poll will be adjusting for next week.

Also can someone clue me in on the MAWLL splitting into 3 divisions and how this will impact their conference championship set up? I know in the past it was always top two from each division made championships, will it be winner of each plus one at large or are they expanding the field?

[Matnum PI]

I just updated the game scores, game schedule. FanLax Computer is only as smart as the information given to FanLax Computer.

UMD also beat Rhode Island and Towson so no real shame in this loss. But 13-4 is a lot...

Is this only for WCLA D1 teams this year or will this be for WCLA D2 teams as well?

[Matnum PI]

Forum Poll - D1
Computer Poll - Both

[Oaklandlax]

Forum Poll - D1
Computer Poll - Both

Sounds good where do we find the computer rankings for both at?

[Matnum PI]

Stating the obvious but... The Computer Rankings get better as the amount of data crosses a certain bar. Usually when each team's played 4-5 games.

WCLA Humans: You started off strong... and then you fell apart. (In the future, for heaven's sake, just use a computer. But whatever.) One through six are spot on. Well done. Then, Virginia also at #6?! Cal-Poly at #8?! Beating Colorado State and San Diego State doesn't make you #6 and #8. Santa Clara at #10?... Listen, normally I'd deride you until you and your fellow coaches cried from sheer humiliation. It's what I'm programmed to do. Kind of like an abusive parent. But, as it's only early March, I'm going to pause my wrath. Looking forward to future rankings, FanLax Computer
