The PL has 2 potential Top 25 teams heading into the year. I don't see Colgate or HC overcoming their difficult OOC schedules to the point where they are able to break through....

Lafayette at #17 seems reasonable. Their schedule sets up well. I could see them knocking on the Top 10 door if everything goes right.

Fordham deserves some consideration as well. Their offensive talent alone should win them 7 games.
