1. Albany (1-2) - Albany gets a good win over a top 25 team. If not for the last second lost to Georgia Southern they would be 2-1 and their only loss would be to a very good UMass squad. The Maine game looks to be a turning point for the team and they are on the turn around.
2. Central Connecticut State (1-1) - A week off, but no other teams did anything to make the jump into second. They played W&M fairly close last week and are up against a Columbia team who had a surprising win last week.
3. Monmouth (1-2) - Got their first win of the season over Duquesne. Duquesne has had a good start and make the Monmouth win a quality win early in conference play. They are coming up to a 3 game streak where they should go 3-0 and turn the season around and go into Albany at 4-2.
4. St. Francis (1-2) - St. Francis had a strong win over Morehead State and has also had two decent games against Top 10 teams. St. Francis has appeared to make the turn after a lot of rough seasons. They are a top 4 team in the NEC this week and should be in the middle at the end of the season.
5. Duquesne (1-2) - Duquesne had a good OOC win and then stumbled in two consecutive games. They look to be much stronger than last year and it appears that they will give a good game to the top NEC teams. They will also win a lot of conference games this year.
6. Bryant (1-1) - Bryant had a decent showing against Hofstra. They played a strong second half and should pick up some wins before they have two tough road games in New York. After the tough stretch they should have a much easier second half and can really make a statement in year 2.
7. Sacred Heart (0-2) - Is in the 7 spot just because they had the week off and couldn't do anymore damage. They look to have regressed from last season, but the season is young and they still have a chance to turn around their rough start.
8. Robert Morris (0-3) - RMU has had a rough start to their season. They looked to be a decent team this year and has had three good OOC games. The Dayton loss was tough to take after Dayton dropped a game to a DIII team the week before. RMU gets the 8 spot this week just because Wagner has had a rough go around.
9. Wagner (1-2) - Wagner had a bad loss to DII Stonehill, who is now showing to be a bad DII team, a good win over a bad DIII team, and a shelling loss versus a good FCS team. I think it is too early to tell what team Wagner will be. It looks like 2009 is a down year and they might end up at the bottom due to SFPA's recent success.
