Will JSU just continue to climb in the polls or will their strength of schedule eventually hurt them?

Yeah they have done well no doubt, but sos is crap. I have them, but in the 15-20 range until they play somebody, anybody. I don't think they should top out any higher than 15-20 due to SOS. Massey has it at 111/130. Not sterling. But the bad part is that it won't get much better. Sucks for them because they do look pretty good. But there is always doubt when you play such a weak schedule. They do have Campbell. If they win that one, it should give them a little bump. That is the highest rated team they play, at #57 in Massey. Yikes!

They know they put Rhode Island at #21, don’t they…or is that a typo?

2 so-so wins over Teams that are winless (combined 0-5) and then suffering a complete dismantling, curb-stomping at home. Nothing screams “Top 20-ish resume” more than those results, huh?

Too funny, how much time do you take on Mondays to complain about the CAA teams and where they are. xnodx

Nice to see two Patriot League teams ranked. Holy Cross is flat-out a legit, serious threat to make at least the semifinals. Fordham has an elite offense but their defense is horrific. I would like to think they can make it to 7 or 8 wins which keeps them hovering around the tail-end of the Top 25 all season. With that said, everyone else in the PL still appears to be varying degrees of bad. Colgate maybe a "tweener"?
