Teams will improve as year goes on with no fall ball more than they ever have Maryland SB BC would not be shocking if these teams made a run. Penn state nah and Florida will have zero top 20 wins on their resume.

Stony Brook is not in the same class as Maryland or BC, they are not in the same class as Florida or Penn State for that matter. As far as Stony Brook the remaining schedule is a joke.
Stony Brook has benefited from a terrific PR Spin machine and the weak schedule they play each year which enabled SBU to show a gaudy regular season record and the players to pad their stats. Look at their record vs Top 10 teams and they come down to earth. That said, SBU is one of the Top 10 - 15 programs but they are on the tail end of that group. BTW. After that group of 10 - 15 there is a big drop off, very few of those teams are competitive with the top teams. There are a hand full of teams that come in and out of the top 20 from time to time but there are 15 - 18 teams that are there just about every year.
