Wow, could Wooster be in danger of dropping from the top 25 next week?

OWU host the Scots on Saturday.  Big early matchup for the NCAC race.

#1 v #3 Saturday  Amherst and Brandeis

[Greek Tragedy]

Whitewater tops #2 Point at home and jumps 14 spots.  Oshkosh beats #13 Elmhurst and gets 12 points.  Wow.  Anyway, back to your normal routine.  How do you get to the Week 1 Top 25 poll...?

[ChicagoHopeNut]

UWSP still has a first place vote?  They very well may be the best team at the end of the year but I believe the poll is supposed to rank the teams today and when a team loses while other very solid teams are undefeated I find it hard to understand UWSP getting a first place vote.

[LogShow]

Plattsburg State and Puget Sound each drop 2 spots without losing last week.  Not sure if they actually lost points or not, interesting poll...

How do you get to the Week 1 Top 25 poll...?

Plattsburgh gained 49 points and Puget Sound 43.  They were both lapped by Whitewater (+212) and Hope (+100), plus nobody ahead of them dropped significantly.

[Ryan Scott (Hoops Fan)]

I guess I was just a year behind on the MHB bandwagon.  Does that mean I hve my pick of the seats this year?

[gccfan]

Look for UMHB to keep rolling, One of their best players, Neiman Ford, is ineligible this semester, but will be back with the team in the second semester.  They play a DII, Incarnate Word, on the 12th so hopefully they won't get dropped too much if they lose to them

It would be fun to see the front page poll divided up by state like ESPN does. Although maybe not since both schools are in Mass

I know its not really a basketball topic, but how do you think they managed to gameday there?  Very rare for D3 to get that much love from ESPN.  Maybe some of the producers are alumi of Williams or Amherst?

I don't doubt that there are a lot of NESCAC alums in good positions at ESPN.
