So much Penn State chatter lately, I guess with a few more local girls headed there, it is to be expected. I don't think they are a bad team, or a "not good" team, as someone has stated. I do think there are definitely over ranked right now. They are over ranked because they beat a MD team that was way over ranked at the time and it catapulted them from unranked at the start of the season into the bottom of the top ten. Which seems like it makes sense except we have now seen MD has not returned to there usual top of the heap, so that win really should not have launched Penn States ranking. If a unranked team beats MD now, they wouldn't see that jump into the top 10 rankings. I still think SBU, FL, VA, BC, probably Towson any maybe even a few others should be ahead of Penn State. They do belong in the 10-20 range, along with 10 other teams and you could pretty much shuffle the deck at that point, and MD should be considered in that mix as well at this point.
Get a grip, Towson was just blown out by Temple, Stony Brook struggled with Towson. Florida , Virginia and BC are right there with Penn State. Stony Brook and Towson not so much.
Florida lost to UNRANKED Jacksonville
Virginia blown out by BC who UNC beat by 12
Penn state another loss ( this one they left with their dignity)
Very surprised to see Jacksonville beat Florida (good for Jacksonville). BC looks to be stronger than most expected. Virginia having an off year. Penn State is solid. Northwestern, Syracuse and UNC are on another level. Looks like Boston College, Notre Dame, Penn State are the next three. Maybe Maryland will improve and put up a fight to be # 2 in the Big 10. Florida is the biggest surprise. Virginia is usually much more competitive. Loyola is also surprising really thought they would be more competitive . Does anyone think Va Tech is Top 20?
Notre Dame Vs Syracuse Today at 12:00.... Can Notre Dame improve?
Loyola Vs Drexel could be interesting.
Stanford Vs USC .... Any predictions?
Is Jacksonville for real? They are 3 - 0 and winning close games. Could they be a sleeper and surprise someone if they make the tournament? I hope so.
Florida didn't see this loss coming, Very rare for true top 10 teams to lose to unranked opponents.
Looks Like it will be ACC and Big 10 Teams fighting it out to make it to the Final Four.
UNC, Syracuse, Northwestern then you have Boston College, Penn State, Maryland ...
Based on YTD results it doesn't look like there is anyone else.
Navy? They have surprised before, who knows?
Is it possible that some of the ACC and Big 10 teams could play each other 4 times? Regular season, conference playoffs and NCAA Tournament? Should be interesting.
