1. MD 2. Florida 3. Notre Dame 4. UNC 5. Syracuse 6. Princeton 7. Stanford 8. Louisville 9. Virginia 10. Penn State 11. Stony Brook 12. Northwestern 13. Boston College 14. Towson 15. UConn 16. Massachusetts 17. Southern Cal 18. Vanderbilt 19. Elon 20. Loyola
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.
No it's not just wins and losses, by your own ranks 'cause has beaten 2 top 20 teams, Loyola has lost to 2 and an unranked team at the time, UNC has lost to 2 top 20 teams and beaten none so explain how they remain above a team with 2 wins against ranked teams, is it just because they are UNC. Why does 'cause need to beat 3-4 top 10 to get love but not UNC, they get it with loses, thats strange to me.
