Anybody know what has happened to Dickinson so far this year? it certainly seemed on paper they would be better than the showing they had against Washington. Also, what is everybody seeing with F&M so far? I have a feeling their win against Hopkins may be a bit inflated, even with it being as hard as it is to win down in Baltimore, because Hopkins just does not have the firepower they used to, not to mention only one good forward in Farber Miller to run their system instead instead of the two the usually have. I can't see F&M sustaining what they have been doing so far because they are so young and have a played a relatively easy schedule. This league has been known to punish younger players going around the second time in the league schedule due to the amount of scouting done. Thoughts?

To respond to the post by Gabriel Dickinson should definitely be a strong team this year in conference but they haven't done anything as a team yet. They were all there last year as juniors and could not make a deep run into the playoffs. I think having them ranked 3rd is appropriate for the beginning of the season. Also, you need to look at what Ursinus has done lately. People have been saying the last couple of years that this is the year Ursinus will not be as good because of who they lost the year before. However at the very least they find a way to reload and make it to the 2-3 game in the playoffs. Overall this should be a very exciting year in the conference with so much talent from top to bottom in the league. Watch out for Muhlenberg and Haverford because they certainly have the pieces to be able to compete on a nightly basis.
