How far will Duke tumble, How high will Army ascend.

You’ve been preparing for a moment like this all your life. Get ‘em!!!!


JoeWillie, your weekend grows more difficult with each game.
I've got about 20 scenarios going, and I keep ripping up more as these crazy results keep coming in.
This is one of the wildest D1 weekends I can remember.
Can't wait until tonight and tomorrow. No one is safe right now.

For sure.

I think another interesting side note is none of these ‘upsets’ strike me as shocking. At this point, any game between any two Top 20 teams should have a betting spread no more than 1.

Agree completely. Penn, for example, looked rock solid on D vs. Duke. That didn't look like a fluke to me at all.

I don't know yet where they will fall Doc, but that was an incredible win. I would say that's Millimans best win to date at Hopkins. Another former Big Red coach also had a great win today in Happy Valley.

I’d say number one is there for the taking if Maryland wins tomorrow. If ND upsets them, I’d go with Army.

Denver has better wins (Hopkins, Cornell)
Army (Cuse, Rutgers)

But Army might win the eye test. I always like the “who would be favored if they played at a neutral site” test. Army favored by 2.

I’m having trouble looking past the Denver/Hopkins final score, trying to knock out how that happened. Denver wins that game only 1 out of 1,000 times.

Army.

If ND upsets Maryland? ND is favored by a goal and a half…

These teams aren’t making it easy on you, JoeWillie. I did NOT have Carolina beating Penn.

I remain convinced that UVA, ND, and Duke are top 3. Army had a tougher than should game against Lafayette.

In agreement there, but warming up to the idea Hopkins could slide into that group

Really good.

Denver only renting that top spot, even though they deserve it at this time. If they’re still undefeated by March 24, watch Duke take them apart that day.

Hoyas go from 15 to 17 after holding serve and ND beats UMD and Penn beats #1 duke. I realize Penn lost today but how do you drop them given those outcomes? I love your top 20 and respect your thoughts but that seems tough.
