Top rank Virginia Wesleyan goes down to up and coming Averett 81-73!!  That's Averetts second win against a ranked opponent.  They also beat 21st rank Hampden-Sydney 66-59 last week.
CARDINAL PRIDE STARTS WITH ME!

We should have a good amount of shake-up in this first poll.  I assume it will be out some time today.

Oh.  The top25 link at the top of the home page didn't go to the new one so I missed it.

Wow.  I thought for sure Brandeis would get more votes than that.  They've been impressive thus far, although we'll know for sure when they play Amherst next week.

Top 25 News and Notes, Vol. VIII, Issue 110

The preseason poll included a staggering 65 teams with voting support, and the first two weeks of play haven't cleared up the confusion much.  In the Week 1 poll, there are still 58 schools with at least one vote.  That's the most teams to receive votes in a regular-season poll since the first two weeks of the 1999-2000 regular season, when the poll was still in its infancy.  It goes without saying that there's still a lot of sorting out left to be done as the season toddles along.

Debutantes:

  • #21 Bates cracked the top 25 this week for the first time in school/poll history.
  • Prior to attracting national attention with their upset of #1 Virginia Wesleyan, Averett attracted the attention of the voters, receiving votes in the poll for the first time ever.  Brandeis is also a first-time vote-getter this week.
Congratulations to these programs!

Streakers:
Congratulations to #2 Wooster and #3 Amherst, who continued their record-setting streaks this week:

  • Wooster's 40th consecutive appearance in the top 10 is their 80th overall, both records;
  • Amherst has now been in the top 25 for 70 weeks, including the past 65 consecutive polls, extending their record of consecutive poll appearances; and
  • Wooster extends their perfect streak of vote-getting to 110 weeks, with a record 102 of them sufficient to qualify the Scots for a top 25 ranking.

Other streakers of note:

  • #6 Wittenberg and #22 Puget Sound are both in the top 25 for the 40th consecutive week; and
  • #20 Mississippi College and Worcester Polytechnic Institute each attracted voting support for the 25th straight week.
Congratulations to these programs!

Milestones:

  • As noted above, this week is #2 Wooster's 80th top 10 appearance, and #3 Amherst's 70th top 25 appearance.;
  • #22 Puget Sound is a top 25 team for the 40th time overall (as well as 40th consecutive week.)  #4 Ohio Northern is a top 25 team for the 30th time, and #1 Virginia Wesleyan is in the top 25 for the 20th time.
  • #24 Illinois Wesleyan and Catholic each received votes for the 90th time.  The voters selected Rochesterfor the 70th time, #5 Hope and #15 Augustana for the 60th time, UW-Platteville for the 50th time, #1 Virginia Wesleyan and Ramapo for the 40th time, and Southwestern and Manchester for the 10th time.
Congratulations to these programs as well, and to all of D3 for a great start to the season!  :)

How are you getting to the poll?  All I can see to is the pre-season poll

Sorry, FDF, I meant to include that link in my ramblings.  I assume it's only temporary, until the women's poll is released.

Greek Tragedy

I know this is the men's poll, but I noticed that Wheaton (IL) dropped from #5 in the women's poll to completely out!  I think they are 2-3, losing to Oshkosh and Point in consecutive nights.  Point women just spanked them!  Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled men's talk... :P

Is there any record fall like that in the men's side in recent history?

Surprised to see the Point men go from #25 to #9.  Wow.

I have to say I was also suprised to see the Hope men jump all the way to #5.  Nothing like beating your rival early

#1574
Final:  #2 Wooster 80  Georgetown (KY) 73

Wooster gets a very impressive win over a 7-1 Georgetown squad ranked #8 nationally in NAIA (I).

Wooster was led in scoring by Tim Vandervaart with 22 points, 14 boards, Tom Port with 16 points, James Cooper with 14 points and Devin Fulk with 13 points.

Wooster won this game by outshooting and outrebounding a much taller Georgetown team.

Wooster is now 4-0.  :)   Next up is Earlham on Saturday.

GO SCOTS!
