Lacrosse Analytics
Re: Lacrosse Analytics
Davidson always seems to be in your Top 20 rankings. I have no idea what kind of drugs your algorithm is on, but your algorithm needs a detox.

Re: Lacrosse Analytics
Who would you have in the last spot instead of them?

Re: Lacrosse Analytics
Their schedule is a joke. Their best win is Mercer and they lost to Cincy. There's a bunch of teams that play harder schedules that should be ahead of Davidson even if they don't have better records. PSU is also 7-2 with wins over Princeton, Rutgers, Towson and Drexel. Davidson has no wins that come close to any of those. Something is wrong with your algorithm if Davidson is ranked ahead of PSU. Navy shouldn't be ranked ahead of PSU either.
Re: Lacrosse Analytics
Any of the following would make more sense.
Darien (Conn.)
St. Paul's (Md.)
New Canaan (Conn.)
St. Anthony's (N.Y.)
McDonogh (Md.)
Archbishop Carroll (Pa.)
Episcopal (Pa.)
Archbishop Spalding (Md.)
Baldwinsville (N.Y.)
Manhasset (N.Y.)

DAVIDSON!

Re: Lacrosse Analytics
Davidson is a juggernaut! Those overtime wins vs VCU and St. Bonnies rocketed them to the top.
Re: Lacrosse Analytics
Highpoint 1-6, Coastal Carolina 6-3, Mercer 6-2, Winthrop 3-4, Garner Webb 1-7, Duquesne 1-9, St. Bonaventure 4-7, VCU 5-6, GW 1-9
28 Wins versus 53 Losses - not great competition

Re: Lacrosse Analytics
Boy, we really hate Davidson being on here, haha.
Ok, if not them, who would you put ahead of them in the 20th spot? Davidson's 9-2 record gives them the 24th best SOR in the country. Their LaxElo rating puts them 18th. That's why they ended up 20th.
Marquette was #21, and they do have the superior resume in terms of wins and losses (their SOR is 9th), but the Golden Eagles are 38th in the LaxElo ratings, meaning they'd be projected to lose to the 37 teams ahead of them on a neutral field.
