FanLax Forum Poll

[BallHunt]

Why don’t you focus on being a good lacrosse player instead of this forum. You’re so concerned with this crap my hunch is you’ll never find the success you want as a player at Amherst next year. I’ve been around the block enough to know that if you’re occupied with what a bunch of strangers think then you’ll struggle with confidence as a player for 4 years. I’m not sure what qualifies Amherst as a “national contender”.

??? Where is this coming from. Why so much hate? Let people pick guess their top 20 in peace

Yea, seriously. “Guy on Internet forum lectures other guy on Internet forum over time wasted on Internet forum…”

Finally some love for those nerds in Cambridge. Just kidding. But they are having a fantastic year. Coach O’Keefe should be on the radar for the next job soon.

That Stevens transfer is chewing up the Newmac averaging just about 8 points a game.

Yes I’m aware. He’s very good. He was a 1st Team All-American last year after all.

Dang forgot Lynchburg for #8, the rest move down.

I’m still a little confused by the love of Cabrini, this poll is definitely one of the better ones out there. But what have they done? USILA has them at 12!

Cabrini 6-2
- 0-2 vs top 10
- 0-2 vs Top 20
- 1-2 vs Likely Regionally Ranked Teams
- Poor SOS
- 1 Win vs a team with a winning record. 8-6 vs Hampden-Sydney

Here’s what the resumes of the team behind them look like. SOS is obviously weak with some including Cabrini. I think it’ll certainly become apparent when pool C comes into play.

Stevenson 4-3
- 2-3 vs Top 20
- 3-3 vs Likely Regionally Ranked Teams
- Stronger SOS
- 2 Wins vs Teams with a winning Record. Kean and Denison

RPI 8-1

- 0-1 vs Top 5
- 0-1 vs Top 10
- 0-1 vs Top 20

Denison 5-3
- 0-2 vs Top 10
- 0-3 vs Top 20
- 3-3 vs Likely regionally ranked teams
- solid SOS OOC
- 2 wins vs teams with winning record. Baldwin Wallace and John Carroll

Good point and backup data. I wonder about RPI much the same way.
