East Region Fan Poll

[theoriginalupstate]

we had Albright over Widener and AU over Wick...

[superman57]

Agreed, I like Wick and think that they could do decent this year with boltus, but I have to be skeptical that they had a hard time winning on the road last year... So my thoughts on Wick, will be to wait and see what they do the first week or two...

My Thoughts:  I find the bottom 5 very interesting There was some very big disagreements on teams like Albright and TCNJ, it seems...  Anyway, it's my pleasure to do this again and I hope you enjoy!!

Ok well I am gonna state the obvious, I have an issue not putting fisher 1...until the prove that their not the #1 team in the region, I will put them #1

My thought on is that this poll is who we think is better at the start of this season and not who was better at the end of last season.   Fisher lost some key players and Ithaca looks like it should finally put all the pieces together this season. 

I'm interested to see what effect the mount union game will have. 

[superman57]

we will see, I still  think fisher is better and hopefully they will prove it... if not I am more than ready to drop them...but I think they would have to lose to Mount by 30 or more in order for me to drop them

[pg04]

I wonder if a good game against mount would change the any of the 6.  You could always win and then I think you'd have your #1 position 

[clandfan]

I agree PG.  I am not a pollster but SJF lost some players from last year and IC lost little.  Juvon could be player of the year.  I think a win vs Mount Union should put SJF at the top but a loss would not hurt them...everyone usually loses to MU.  If both IC and SJF stay the course their first couple games then Sept 27 will see who is number one.  Look for monster numbers from Boltus and Phelan this year at Wick.  If I am not mistaken, they beat IC last year and they will have a big game 9/20 at Ithaca.

I think you all did a great job on the initial poll.

I agree. I think Fisher deserves the Pre-Season #1 Spot based on last year. This is also not a knock on Ithaca.

Also thought Hartwick should have been in and Del Val out.

Thought Widner over TCNJ but you can make the last year performance argument.

pg04 : thanks for the effort and keeping my D3 interest going !!!
