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.

Looks like the an ACC team will be number one Monday.

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 improves

Cornell was #10 and beat # 8 convincingly. So they are better than last week's #8 putting them at #7.

Maybe, but they just beat the #1 RPI team, and are currently #6 RPI, and #2 SOS. Pretty good resume, so far.

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 watch

Not my rankings, but my contender list
Tier 1: ND and UVA
Tier 2: Duke, Cuse
Tier 3: Hopkins and PSU (both with Fogo questions).
Tier 4: Army, Yale/Cornell, Gtown

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)

[keno in reno]

Cornell at 5 is laughable

Cornell at 5 is laughable

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.
