Thanks!

So if anyone has noticed I've become embroiled in discussions on both the Top 25 Fan Poll and the North Region Fan Poll about the value of H2H wins. I wandered over to our poll to see if I could find a way to mess up this thread as well (kidding) and simply cannot. We're either doing something right, something wrong, or our region is really boring!

I appreciate all the work you guys put into the polls but I don't really pay any attention as "its only a number" and a persons opinion. The only poll that matters is the final poll. Keep up the good work because I'm certain most fans have a different opinion than I on this subject.

I can't imagine why anyone would pay much attention to them, though they do pass the time and can make for some fun arguments. I probably wouldn't pay much attention if I wasn't involved. On the other hand, I truly enjoy being involved, even when I'm horribly wrong (see last week. Muhlenberg vs JHU). Fortunately I don't mind cleaning the egg off the following week...

Ditto -- I had Muhlenberg on my ballot prior to that debacle.

I still have them at the bottom of my SRFP. But they aren't above JHU anymore. I thought JHU looked off and the Muhles had almost everyone back. Plus the game was at the Muhles. It had to be the year, right? Saw the score close to half time and muttered some words my wife was not happy with near the kids.

I've got your Generals beating GC based on W&L's performance against Centre and GC's performance against SVA.
So I might be muttering some words late Saturday afternoon as well.

Me three on the Mules.  Had them right after JHU and thought they had a good chance of winning.  I have Wash and Jeff ahead of Thomas More right now, so this week will prove me right or wrong once again.

One quality win out of four does not a vote assure.

Thanks for the comment
The question is whether the voter believes that TLU can beat the teams farther down the ballot.

My impression is the rest of the ASC would win or compete very strongly with the rest of the South Region conferences.  I think that TLU is a solid 6,7,8. I think that the ASC runner-up is second tier Top 10.  My "line" for the Wesley game is Wesley by 17 at home against LaCollege for LaCollege to hold my vote for them at #10.

Rhetorically, what would your ballot look like?

I hope you're wrong again

I've got TMC just ahead of W&J, actually might have Hopkins in the middle. Can't remember. Either way, TMC on the road is my pick, but I'm sweating it. Hoping that game against Wesley toughened up the Saints enough to get over the road hill. I think they should, hence the rankings, but...

Bold. Even I won't go there, and I love my Generals! Guilford is just good right now. W&L just isn't. W&L on the road? Guilford with the extra week to prepare? W&L is going to have to find another gear to pull out a win. I haven't seen evidence of that gear yet.
