Re: 2024 top 20
Man, this top20 stuff is brutal. It started Wednesday night with Syracuse blitzing my #3 Duke, and then BU dominates everyone's #1 Army.
By the time Sunday afternoon comes, any number of teams could be #1, and how far down will the top teams fall.
PARITY, is definitely the story of 2024. What a crazy year, and it keeps getting crazier.

Ugghhh,
unfortunately, I think Army drops to 10, assuming 2-9 hold.

Re: 2024 top 20
I can say my model hates Army. I think it is due to the weak schedule. I think you have Cornell a bit high, but you are a fan. I still have them around 10, hard to get them inside the top 5 until that defense improvesjoewillie78 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 6:57 pmToughest part was how far to drop Army and Denver.Finster wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 6:40 pmjoewillie78 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 6:34 pm My new top 20 March 24, 2024:

Cornell was #10 and beat # 8 convincingly. So they are better than last week's #8 putting them at #7.coda wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 7:48 pmI can say my model hates Army.

Maybe, but they just beat the #1 RPI team, and are currently #6 RPI, and #2 SOS. Pretty good resume, so far.coda wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 7:48 pmI can say my model hates Army.

Re: 2024 top 20
Yale always has the RPI schedule. Right now Penn is the only Ivy school playing good defense. Lots of legit offenses. That conference will come down to which coaching staff gets the most out of their defense. That will be fun to watchjoewillie78 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 8:15 pmMaybe, but they just beat the #1 RPI team, and are currently #6 RPI, and #2 SOS.

Re: 2024 top 20
Harvard should be above Rutgers and BU (maybe Mich too but I’m not die hard head to head). And Rutgers is fine includes but there’s about five other teams you could give their spot to at this point (I’d include half the A10-Richmond, St joes and perhaps even HPU, Jax, Nova, Quinny, Towson maybe)joewillie78 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 6:34 pm My new top 20 March 24, 2024:

Now I love those cowboys, I love their gold
Love my uncle, God rest his soul
Taught me good, Lord, taught me all I know
Taught me so well, that I grabbed that gold
I left his dead ass there by the side of the road, yeah

Yeah, I know they should be much higher but I don't want to look like a Homer.
With just beating #1 RPI, and have the #2 SOS, where do you think? 2 or 3?

Once Cornell has played Syracuse and Notre Dame, we'll have a better idea of where the Big Red belong.

Roger that.
I think BU is a puzzle piece too. Blown out by Navy (who is 5-4 with some ugly losses themselves), then they handle Army fairly well. I think many of us thought this year's PL was easily Army's for the taking, now I'm not so sure.

I agree 100%, Colgate, BU, and don't forget Loyola could all be formidable in the PL tournament, and according to Lax Ref, they are a 1 bid league, so lots of pressure on Army to hold serve in the PL.Finster wrote: ↑Mon Mar 25, 2024 9:04 amjoewillie78 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 6:57 pmToughest part was how far to drop Army and Denver.Finster wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 6:40 pmLooks good.joewillie78 wrote: ↑Sun Mar 24, 2024 6:34 pm My new top 20 March 24, 2024:
