Michigan dropped 11 spots with a road loss to a ranked USC team?


Above is just a ranking by a single poster here on BOTC... That being said Hofstra received votes in both of the Media polls...(Nike and Maverik) However, Hofstra was not in the IWLCA Coaches Poll which lists 25 teams not 20 teams....

At this point in the season Hofstra should certainly be in the conversation for Top 20...



Why , who have they beat , their best game was a close loss to a team that traveled across the country and are offensively challenged . Beat a top 20 team if you want to get I to the top 20.


At this point in the season the polls are a bit of a joke. Boston College is ranked ahead of both Umass and Dartmouth... What has BC done? Until teams have a significant body of work these polls are meaningless. For example, Hofstra has as much of a claim to the Top 20 as Michigan. We really don't know where teams should be ranked yet.


Yes and no , you can look at last years performance and look at key returning players etc. Honestly they had BC ranked way to high from the start. When you lose your 3 best offensive players and like 75 percent of your offense among others you are going to take a big step back. Hofstra has not been good for years so they really dont have as much of a claim.If you dont think UNC, MD, ND are going to be top 5 at end of season you just have not been paying attention even thou ND is the only one with a quality win this year.
