But there is no better determinant of two teams close in the rankings than head to head.

Hopkins should vault into the top 5 after their performance against UVA. Another couple of losses and they'll be a shoo-in come tourney-time.runrussellrun wrote: ↑Wed Mar 02, 2022 12:23 pm NO......winning does NOT matter..... Hopkins ranked #7 is all you need to know about a computer ranking value

1998 first round of playoffs. We got an at large and lost 16-10, would’ve liked more w MVA being AHC for Dom for a long time but so it goes abs we were already traveling to GTown the first 20yrs of D1 so w budget constraints it may have been on Bart as much as UVA.runrussellrun wrote: ↑Mon Mar 07, 2022 7:25 amNeeds to be updated........... my "pole"ICGrad wrote: ↑Sun Mar 06, 2022 9:20 pmHopkins should vault into the top 5 after their performance against UVA.

Like UTAH.....at 3-1, one goal loss to Denver, just like UNC and of course, beat Jacksoville by way more than Hopkins.
n$aa allows inequity with the stupid D1 football thing, not to far fetched for Disney and the legacy lacrosse programs to start their own "championship "
Hopkins will beat 'Cuse.....maybe with some zebra help like the inept ones in the Dome yesterday....and the ACC will have its usual cannibalism .. proving SO much![]()
dudes, UVA's schedule is as such
ACC teams- lots
American East-Zero games scheduled (0)
ASUN- (1)
Big East- Zero (0)
Six Big,no Ten- (2)
Colonial ( CAA ) - (1 )
Ivy- (0) zero
MAAC- (1)
NEC- (0)
Patriot (1)
Sunshine ( 2)
Has Hobart EVER played a game against UVA?
Yeah.....lets' use a SOS formula, that in no way, shape or form, account for OOC massive holes.
Notre Dame OOC numbers have way more zeros than UVA's...........but the ACC IS the best.
The Irish, ONLY, play Big east, Big Six, not Ten and ASUN for OOC games. That means, Notre Dame has scheduled ZERO games against the other 8 leagues. But RPI and SOS are such awesome metrics for invites.![]()

Denver being ranked props up both UNC and Jax it seems.Wheels wrote: ↑Mon Mar 07, 2022 9:23 am One of the stranger things to me is how the Ivy clustering doesn't actually follow, you know, head-to-head wins and losses.

Georgetown beats Penn in Philly but loses at home to Princeton. Logically, it would seem to me that Princeton should be ahead of Georgetown and Georgetown ahead of Penn. Yet it's like the head-to-head FROM SATURDAY doesn't seem to matter, so Georgetown stays ahead of Princeton.
Not to mention that Penn needed a last second goal to beat a ho-hum Penn State team.
So, Penn gets credit for a home win against Duke but has no penalty for a home loss to Georgetown, who has no penalty for a home loss to Princeton.
And then there's Duke, who paid less of a penalty for losing at home to a Jacksonville team that paid a bigger penalty for losing at home to a Utah team that has only a one-goal, home loss to Denver...who, let's be honest...doesn't deserve to be in the Top 20 at all given their, you know, on the field performance.
Mission accomplished, though. We're all talking about it! But I digress...

Penn State, as did Loyola......struggled against the Leopards.
The whole process is a joke. Michigan is getting dissrespected, but a Hopkins win over them will "prove something"![]()
without looking, neither B's will be in the top 10 (Boston, Bucknell).....because WINNING doesn't matter in Div. I lacrosse, laundry and legacy is all that matters.
You are spot on no way Duke should be in top 10 let alone top 20 bleeping jokerunrussellrun wrote: ↑Mon Mar 07, 2022 9:40 amThis isn't our young adulthood Division 1 any longer, as Powell correctly observes todays lacrosse atmosphere.Wheels wrote: ↑Mon Mar 07, 2022 9:23 am One of the stranger things to me is how the Ivy clustering doesn't actually follow, you know, head-to-head wins and losses.
