I thought that it was pretty good. He identified a couple possible scenarios involving picks, discussed how to deal with them, follow up actions, etc. I thought that he was methodical, encouraging and positive. I can't remember if he was correct in guessing what Cornell was going to do though.

So, explain to me how Rutgers is behind Cornell and Yale at this point. I know the RPI is all that matters and the polls really are just for the fans. However, this is just stupid and this DOES affect the NCAA tourney seedings. If Rutgers lost by ONE goal to Army, they would not have been ranked anywhere in the top 15.

Thanks for doing the leg work, here, JW. I know that you have been a big believer in Brown all season and I get it that there are all sorts of overlapping wins and losses with common opponents at this point in the season, but I am struggling with how a 5-4 Penn team is ranked above 7-4 Brown when they lost to the Bears last weekend 12-10 in Philly. Penn has only two high quality wins (Duke & Cornell) while Brown has high quality recent wins over Penn and Yale. (I don't think that Penn's Harvard win is going to stand up as a high quality W.) For that matter, I am also not seeing 5-4 Notre Dame earning a spot above Brown. ND's wins are against 1-8 Detroit Mercy, 7-6 Michigan (losers of six straight), 4-8 Syracuse, 10-5 Duke and 4-8 Marquette. I have a little less of a gripe with 7-3 Yale being ranked seven spots above 7-4 Brown after having just been destroyed by the Bears 20-13, but there's a pretty good argument to be made that Brown deserves a higher ranking than the Elis.

Not trying to take pot shots at your poll since, unfortunately for Brown, it is likely to be close to the "real" polls this week. Just food for thought.

CO, what makes it tough is the head to head where Yale beat Brown, but Cornell beat Yale, but Penn beat Cornell and on and on.
Brown is the hottest and playing the best Lax in the Ivies right now and their game against my beloved Big Red next Saturday will pretty much determine both teams fate nationally and in the ILT.
So many teams are so close that doing these rankings is brutal.
