2024 top 20

[cmbtp88]

Thanks for pulling this together, Joe Willie!

How close would Colgate have to keep it against Cuse tonight to crack your top 20? Two goals? Three goals? This is assuming that Colgate can defeat Hobart this weekend, which, of course is not a slam dunk.

We’ve got to restructure the D for this season but I still expect a win. Know what I saw last year form both teams and who’s returning on an unplayable field that cost us multiple players for multiple games and Karweck oulled a scumbag move so we are highly motivated to put them 6’ under in the dome this weekend regardless of what they did last week. You won’t have to worry about the “where do we rank Colgate” discussion soon. It’ll be the “should Hobart be ranked after beating Colgate and Cornell” discussion

Well guess Hobart isn't going to be ranked after that performance on their home field. You know what a scumbag move is? It is scheduling a D1 lacrosse game, then 5 days before the game asking the home team to reschedule the game for you, the home team accomodates the request, then not showing up at the game because its cold out. That is the scumbag move. Its lacrosse in February, grow a pair.

Waited until after. That’s about what I’d expect if your of the Karweck cloth. Couldn’t say anything before hand could you?

Move on or be a biyach I doesn’t bother me how you act. You wrote this after the fact like someone who definitely didn’t have a pair that would day that to another persons face. How about this suck ny balls-it’s the equivalent to telling me to gotta a pair so you can’t innocence like a baby Karen. Grow a pair. Let’s trade medical files form sports and then talk you little girl.

So dumb, let’s ask to change venues three months in advance because we know what the wether is. What a dipshit who responded to my last post. Gate bodily be embarrassed for this rep.

Waiting until after the fact and then writing this post above calling others scumbags-projection….

This is why folks care about Cornell but not gate. Precisely why nobody cares about your schools program.

This sounds interesting. Who asked what and didn't show up?

Disappointing Saturday for those of us who like top-20 chaos as the "chalk" held serve. Hopefully the Ivy opening next week can mix things up like I mix metaphors.

Yes, pretty chalky at the top. Obviously Georgetown and Michigan had the roughest weekend.

Loyola had a rough weekend, which didn’t help GTowns resume. Sneaky game was Denver/Air force.. Denver did not look very good

The Denver-Air Force game maybe was just overall sloppy because of the weather (snowed throughout much of the game)? Speaking of service academies, Army won an unexpectedly close one. UMass played really well so credit to them, but I thought Army looked a bit more mortal compared to some of the predictions; ultimately, they showed great poise in a 4th quarter comeback sparked by a 4-goal run. They won't sneak up on anybody this year, which can be something to get used to.

I agree about Army, they have to be ready every game, but missing starting attack-man and first game back for other attack kid from injury will end up being there best offensive player this year, I also think Plunkett might of put extra pressure on himself to play well in front of home crowd, he will get back to normal next game.

All good points. And Great comeback, when all's said and done -- Knote is a terrific goalie and to get a 4-0 run going in crunch time with him in the cage for UMass was something special. Coletti came up really big as well.

Not a Terp homer, but didn’t you say that Logan McNaney ‘doesn’t have it anymore’?

Not sure you know, but McNaney saved 75% against Loyola (the same Loyola offense dropped 18 on Georgetown).

Couple sneaky games that could be interesting this week.
Utah/Denver, Duke/St Joesphs (Duke always seems to blow one in Feb), Richmond/UVa, Marquette/ND.. Most likely easy wins, but I would bet one of the ACC teams is taken deep into the 4Q.

Well, I will say that Quint's 2018 pre-season ranking had Yale in the top 4. A lot of people thought he was way wrong, but we all remember where Yale ended the 2018 season. Maybe Quint knows more about Yale's current injury situation than most.

Point well taken but in 22 when the ivies were something like a ridiculous 28-1 out of conference, I believe Quint was giving little to no respect for the Ivies dominance that year.

Well yes; and he said Notre Dame were potential natonal champions who were robbed of a tourney spot by Harvard. He does seem to have become a cheerleader for the ACC, and especially for the South Bend Irish.

[FMUBart]

Pulling for Syracuse(except when they play Hobart), just don't believe anyone could have them in the Top 4
until they beat somebody in the top 10. Interesting that you have Maryland at #11. Still, if they take down the Terps
then I'll be a believer... Oh, and PSU at #8 despite loss at home to 'gate?

Its so early. Outside of maybe ND, Duke, and UVa, it is complete guess work. I do a model for rankings and it has Cuse top 5. Hopkins isnt even top 20. Results are crazy until about week 6-8, but they are based on this years results and not preconceive notions (not enough data pts to be accurate). Putting Hopkins and Penn State in the top 10 is way crazier, than putting Cuse in the top 10 right now. Both may end up in the top 10, but losing Denver and Colgate should force you to earn your way back into the top 10 and neither have done that.

Interesting to leave Hopkins off entirely or was that a mistake.

It was intentional, he's a troll. I'd ignore.

Very interesting, that he has Yale at #6, yet his buddy, the ivy hater, has them at #16. Obviously, with Yale being all over the map, we can't wait to see what the real Yale is like. For me, Yales way closer to Foys opinion than Quints.

Foy has Cornell, Princeton and Penn in a tight clump, meaning he doesn't see much difference between them until they've played games that count. Fair enough, but that makes it a surprise to see so much daylight between Yale and the Cornell. Really looking forward to see what every Ivy is like this year! Although Adler isn't a player easily replaced, I suspect that Cornell could be the IL team to beat. Having said that, I think from top to bottom the Ivy could be very, very good. We'll see; not long to wait now, and we'll see. Go Ivy!
