[Pard4Life]

The results are out regarding the Lambert Cup. I posted a thread and some predictions awhile ago. The results were announced three weeks ago. Here is the Division I-AA poll. Let me just say that I am quite shocked!

I am surprised we got the nod over Colgate, and even Brown! Maybe we are getting some polling respect for once after all..

What does this represent? Why so many A-10 schools?

What does this represent? Why so many A-10 schools?

"Established in 1936 as the "Lambert Trophy" to recognize supremacy in eastern college football, the award has since grown to recognize the best team in the East in Divisions I-A. The Lambert Cup will be awarded to Divisions I-AA, II and III teams. The New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, operator of the Meadowlands Sports Complex, took over the administration of the Lambert Meadowlands Awards in 1983.

To be eligible for the Lambert Meadowlands Award, a school must be located in the East or play half of its schedule against eligible Lambert teams. The territory includes New York, New Jersey, New England and Pennsylvania while teams in the bordering states of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia and the District of Columbia qualify if half of their schedule features eligible teams."

Not shocking - the Lambert has put a lot of stake in the IAA playoffs when it comes to the voting for this. There was a gripe a few years ago when the UD/nova rivalry was really hot between Tubby and Talley - I think nova beat UD in the regular season but didn't go as far as UD in the playoffs, and nova got the Lambert anyway. After that, they waited until the playoffs played themselves out and then picked the winner. For instance, the quarterfinal game between UD and Lehigh in 2000 was the final determiner in who won the Lambert that year.

Not shocked at all. As previously noted, they now await the results of the playoffs. LC's good showing against App.State helped solidify their position. Had they gotten blown out, they'd probably be just ahead of Colgate and Lehigh.
