Hopkins, Penn and Duke all out of the top 20 for now.
how can you keep Loyola in top 20 with 3 losses and only 1 win and drop Duke at 3 and 3, makes no sense.
Loyola came out of the gate with a very difficult early season schedule. Florida and Syracuse are Top 5 programs and then they played Hopkins and Towson both are competitive teams and they are also rivalry games for bragging rights on Charles Street which make them tougher then random games. Loyola's next two games are Penn State and Virginia. They could have scheduled some less competitive programs and have a 4 - 0 record. If they can win one of the next two they can stay in the top 20.
Duke lost to Elon. Great win for Elon. At 3 - 3 Blue Devils need to earn consideration. I think they have to win at least 3 or 4 ACC games and all of their non conference games (unless Elon finishes in the top 10) to be in the top 20 at the end of the season.
Not just wins and losses. Have to beat good teams and you cant lose to less competitive teams.
