East Region Fan Poll

[UfanBill]

I'm really getting into the ERFP this season. Undoubtedly because for the first time in a decade my Dutchman are relevant. Nice job voting this week to all the pollsters. As I said last week I have no issue with Union ranking behind Husson. I'm even OK with our MAC voter placing Widener at #7. They'd be on my poll...Stevenson, Albright and CNU while all fine teams, have proven unworthy. Not sure why Plymouth St. is getting more support than W.Conn since the Colonials won the H2H. (one got it right) Speaking of head to head. there are an incredible number of league champion determining games this Saturday. The aforementioned W.Conn plays Framingham...Alfred/Brockport....Salisbury/Wesley...WNE/Curry...Trinity/Amherst and Union/Ithaca. The schedule makers sure hit a homerun this week. We know we'll have some surprises. I can't wait.

Ufan, I agree.  H2H W. Conn beats Plymouth who beats Framingham.  Would look like Framingham should be out of the 3.  I got W. Conn, Brockport, Wesley, WNE, Trinity, and Union.  Gotta stick with my top 10.

Must be nice to be relevant . Hobart still has a chance for the runner up bowl (with help from Union )...oh,  what could have been with a faster start at Union....I officially no longer feel sorry for the old struggling Dutchmen .....the" rival hate" is back on for next year at the Boz .....but I still need you to win out this year

If W.Conn. beats Framingham this week, W.Conn. wins the MASCAC since they have the win over Plymouth St....If Framingham wins they likely will not win the MASCAC because Plymouth beat them H2H. Either way as it stands now it's doubtful Framingham makes the tourney which makes top 10 votes for them even more suspect.

The Regional rankings come out this week. They almost always reflect who is thought to be the teams that will make the tourney. Of course I know the tourney brackets don't necessarily follow RR any more. Here's what I've got
1)Del. Vly..
2)Brockport
3)Wesley
4)Springfield...they like undefeated teams
5)Frostburg
6)Salisbury
7)Widener
8)Husson
9)Union
10)Plymouth St.
10t)W.Conn
...others...Curry,Ithaca,RPI,Alfred,WNE,Salve Regina & MIT are waiting in the wings if the others slip up. Either WNE, Curry or Salve is going to make the tourney as CCC champ so they will move up.
I just checked, the NEWMAC doesn't automatically get a bid this year but if Springfield is 10-0 they get in. A 8-2 MIT no way.

My Rams are hoping there are a lot of slip ups and Cortland somehow wins the E 8.

Cortland is eliminated from Pool A contention.

HUH?...Wishful thinking D3MAFAN...Cortland has 2 league losses and CAN NOT win the E8. It's going to go to the Brockport/Alfred winner. I guess Cortland MIGHT get some at large consideration if they beat Utica and Ithaca to finish 7-3 but it's extremely unlikely. What's also unlikely is any chance your Rams have at the MASCAC title since they lost to Plymouth St...If Plymouth beats Fitchburg Saturday they finish 7-1  and even if Framingham beats W. Conn. the Panthers would get the bid. If W. Conn wins they get the bid since they beat Plymouth.

Cortland has zero shot at a Pool C bid.

I feel like this was written with a little animosity, but I understand where my RAMS are and what we need to do and what needs to happen for us within the MASCAC, which has been discussed on the MASCAC section. I did not look thoroughly at the E 8 standings.
