I hear you on that.nehslaxfan wrote: ↑Fri Feb 11, 2022 9:11 am Intersting you have Williams and Wesleyan so high based upon the major contributors that are no longer a part of both teams. This rating seems to be more about last year than this year imo.
But I don't think NE Lax Journal is wrong to rank them 2 & 3 based on how they did with what/who they had during the COVID season.
4 through 11 though...
Those spots could go a lot of different ways.
You think Midd would be way higher... or at least Top 8 in a preseason ranking !
They've got older guys who played key roles in 19 & 20, with big recruits stepping on campus (IE Billy Curtis)
But who really knows what they're going to look like after losing almost 2 seasons.
In this league, more than any at the D3 level, I think timing plays a big role in how things shake out.
Who you play when can almost make or break a season.
