I find the bolded part interesting. You could say that about any team loosing their best offensive threat....none greater than the current occupants of the #1 spot.seacoaster wrote: ↑Mon Feb 21, 2022 10:19 am
8. Maryland -- beat St. Joe's and UVA, both away from the comfy weirdness of their field hockey field. I cannot figure a way to rank them lower until I see some other teams impress more. Terps have a goaltending issue that needs to be resolved. I'd start the freshman and let the chips fall. And they are an injury to Cordingly away from mediocrity.

Cuse was the exception to this! Last year. Lost 1&2 and went to the final gameBart wrote: ↑Mon Feb 21, 2022 3:50 pmI find the bolded part interesting.

I think saying Carney (before her injury) was better than Tyrrell last year is such a misconception.Cagekeeper wrote: ↑Mon Feb 21, 2022 4:50 pmCuse was the exception to this! Last year.

I didn’t. I have repeatedly said Tyrrell gets the shaft while Carney gets the glory. But in the eyes of the misinformed. 51&22 were one and two.laxer12 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 21, 2022 5:00 pmI think saying Carney (before her injury) was better than Tyrrell last year is such a misconception.Cagekeeper wrote: ↑Mon Feb 21, 2022 4:50 pmCuse was the exception to this!

Agreed, point taken. Those losses were tremendous but not in the same vein of total production from a single player that the current #1 depends on. Not only in scoring but in control of the draw.Cagekeeper wrote: ↑Mon Feb 21, 2022 4:50 pmCuse was the exception to this! Last year.

Coming across as overwrought and emotional… I thought emotions didn’t figure into or emit from motherboards…FanLax Computer wrote: ↑Mon Feb 21, 2022 3:44 pm I just... I just can't. Let me just say this, you got #1-#3 correct. Zip-a-dee-doo-da. After that, I just cannot. Stony Brook is 0-1 and you have them as the #5 team in the nation. Losing to a good team, even by 1 goal, does not make you good. Loyola and Princeton?! Really?! C'mon, people. Two more things: Temple and OSU not only exist and, thus far this season, they've earned some kudos. More than you're giving them. And, that's it... I just can't...
Thank you. I thought BC, NC and Princeton was highly realistic and accurate. Sometimes a computer can see through all the confusion to reality
Correct. If they can improve their passing accuracy and get a better sense when to be bold and when to be wise, they might be there on the final weekend in May.FanLax Computer wrote: ↑Mon Feb 21, 2022 3:44 pm Stony Brook is 0-1 and you have them as the #5 team in the nation.
Emphatically, yes. Loyola won fairly easily without playing or coaching to their ceiling. And Princeton? Anyone watching that game had to be very impressed in all phases.
I ranked Temple #21 in my poll yet I couldn't find a place for the Bucs. To be transparent, I didn't consider them, which is probably an oversight, but they haven't really defeated anyone of stature yet.FanLax Computer wrote: ↑Mon Feb 21, 2022 3:44 pm Two more things: Temple and OSU not only exist and, thus far this season, they've earned some kudos.
