They are “certainly” NOT a top 10 team, nice try Spallina. Top 20? I’ll allow it…
The post that you are responding to stated:
"Stony Brook is certainly a Top 10 Program but they have never really played a regular season schedule that would be considered as difficult as the other Top 10 Programs."
By Top 10 Program they are not talking about where they stand currently... they are saying that Stony Brook is a "Top 10 Program" meaning that they finish the season ranked in the Top 20 just about every year and in the Top 10 on a regular basis. Examples of other Top 10 "Programs" would be...
- Maryland
- Northwestern
- Boston College
- Syracuse
- Florida
- Princeton
- Virginia
- JMU
- Loyola
- Penn
These teams have been regulars in the Top 20 at the end of the season for years as has Stony Brook. Few if any other programs can boast a similar track record. Only time will tell but my money is on SBU to finish the year ranked in the Top 10 again this year.
Denver, with a few others have been impressive in recent years, maybe some other programs will become more consistent as well.
Like it or not Stony Brook is a Top 10 Program. You can detest all you want but it will not change reality.
