I think MD loses 2 of the 3 following games (Mich, NU, Hopkins), no strong feeling over who they beat of the three. I think MD is the type of team who will play any top 15 team close. Their defense will always keep them in games but their offensive limitation wont let them easily win games over teams who they should beat on paper.MolonLaxe wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 12:53 pmBased on how this season is going so far, you're probably right.hmmm wrote: ↑Thu Mar 28, 2024 1:13 amWell Michigan has to beat MD before the next poll comes out. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that won't happen and NU will be back at #1 where they belong.MolonLaxe wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 9:05 pm Can’t wait for the next lax poll—you’ll have the media and coaches looking for any traditional power they can put at the #1 slot instead of Michigan. I’m waiting for them to bump Penn to 1 now.
The polls swing too wildly and demonstrate they don’t know how to call it.
I actually think they matchup against NU better than the other two mainly because NU struggle with bigger physical teams (read: ND and PSU). I think the Michigan game will be a super low scoring game (heard spidey set the over/under at 14.5). I think Michigan wins mainly because they will have the best player on the field in Jill Smith and should be stronger in the circle.
