Yeah I figured that WSU losing would hurt us in this. Oh well.

[ToTheLeft]

Movin on up to 17. Love it.

[UNH Fanboi]

Under what metric could Richmond possibly be ranked ahead of Villanova? I don't get it. They played basically the same schedule (Nova's was even a little bit harder with UNH) and Nova won the head to head.

how many people on here feel that E. wash is the 22 best team in the nation at 6-5 on the year?

[appfan2008]

no way we dont get the 2 seed

[UNHWildCats]

7 of the top 11 CAA teams :D

[Khan4Cats]

Well, according to Sagarin, UNI must be really having to hold their breaths this year to see 1) If we can even warrant an at-large and 2) where our last team-in status allows us to get sent as the sacrificial lamb in the first round.

Please, go ahead and use the Sagarin to bet against UNI, I hear the economy in Vegas is struggling and could use some sucker bets.

[clenz]

UNI is only 7 teams better than Delaware? Really?

Holy hell these rankings suck ass.

Those rankings make me laugh. What a flipping joke. The joke will be on everyone else if they think UNI is 15. Sagarin must be involved with the weekly CAA circle jerk.

[DFW HOYA]

228th....ugh.

Guess that's what happens when the big win of the year came against a Howard team ranked 238th.

For the record, it is a sword fight, not a circle jerk

I'd like to know how Harvard is possibly 14th, ahead of UNI.

[crunifan]

I'd like to know how Harvard is possibly 14th, ahead of UNI.

I think we can chalk that up to Indiana State.

Shoulda, coulda, woulda but we did beat two decent teams in NAU and the Cats, and dominated BSC co-champ Weber for most of yesterday's game. You could also ask TTU and Colorado what they thought of us. We definitely underachieved this year, and having to play to two money games made the margin for error small. But replace one of those two losses with a win against an OOC FCS team and the record would be more in line with a top 25 team. I think 22 is about right.

Yes, EWU is among the top 25 teams in the country. That said, they may be the biggest disappointment as well. Had 'em pegged for a top five finish with what they had coming back this year.
