if we're not going to include the NESCAC (and we might as well keep on not), then there aren't ten good teams in the East to rank.
Hell, there might not even be five.
I know this was likely, at least partially, tongue in cheek. We all know the East hasn't had a 'top tier' consistent team since the 90's Rowan teams. I think Wesley has taken a step back(a small step) since joining the NJAC. Brockport MIGHT be close now(but for how long?) But realistically, we just haven't had one in forever.
However, I'm a firm believer that the East is MUCH more competitive and deep as a whole than every other region. Our mid-tier teams(your 6-12 or whatever) would do just fine in most other conferences across the country. Probably finish in the top 3rd of them. Everyone thinks the OAC is so great because of Mt Union, but most non-Mount teams would be mediocre at best in the LL, E8, NJAC and MAC.
In summary, don't smoke crack.
Hell, here is my top 10 in the full spirit of the fan poll page.
0. Williams
1. Brockport
2. Frostburg
3. Wesley
4. Salisbury
5. Mt. Ida
6. RPI
7. Del Val
8. Cortland
9. Jersey City State
10. Montclair
11. Union
12. Ithaca
In all seriousness, maybe it should be a rule that the top NE team has to be ranked #0 until week 7. Then you are allowed to put them in the top 10.
RIP Mount IDA!!! Bring Back Mustang City!!
