Could be the stupidest post ever.

Could be the stupidest post ever.

The a-hole response is not called for, but come on man the premise makes no sense. No UVA in the poll immediately eliminates the legitimacy, then making it based on 2022 results makes even less sense. This looks like it was drawn up on a Hopkins bar napkin after 8 hours of pre and post-gaming.

[Matnum PI]

No UVA because they haven't played yet. Read what the Ranking is (below). Just a barometer of who has done what after playing one game.

Yes, we all know that. But doing what you did begs one to ask the question: Who cares?

Why? Your ranking is of no interest after one day of the season.

I care. And it's of interest to me. If you don't care and don't find this of interest, then keep walking...

I assume you anticipated feedback when you posted this on a message board? One response was over the top, but You can't get angry if much of it is contrary to your view......

Not angry. And... You're right. Some people see no value in what I'm sharing. And that's OK...

I'd say the Mt St Mary's win > Mercer win.

Bucknell offense did look impressive though.

I do.

Does this exclude all the Ivies, and anyone else who played no games against the teams that played today?

[10stone5]

I believe they won’t release an actual new ranking, USILA and Media polls - until the following week,

but I’d go unanimous Terps #1 - though the other top teams
did not play.

[Matnum PI]

Correct. Rankings based only on games played in 2023 and the quality of those Ws and Ls.

Agreed. Most every media outlet and otherwise will have MD at #1 based on MD winning it all in 2022 and having not lost in 2023...

Based only on games played this year… Based on how teams finished last year.

I anxiously await this year’s results to tell us how good teams will be in 2024!
