Observations
1- Looks like a unanimous first place poll since teams cannot vote for their own players.
2- All PL
Offense -7
Defense- 2
Special Teams- 2
(1 conundrum- “ A special teams non specialist”)

You must not follow Chesney or HC closely. Some of HC’s best guys play ST. |

I followed Chesney plenty...his star WR at Assumption attempted to return kicks. I just find that category being on a preseason list odd as you don't see the ACC or SEC doing it. |

The fact that you believe that special teams play is unimportant tells us a lot.

It can blow your whole season up if there's no depth behind the player's regular position. Vaas had a guy returning punts (or kickoffs, can't remember that precisely) who was one of the few wideouts returning; blew his knee out in the opener at West Point. |

Lehigh and Colgate can't stay lousy forever. Bucknell FB is a head scratcher. Aren't they located in the strongest football region of the seven PL FB schools?

There isn't much around Lewisburg but it is within an hour or less of Happy Valley. And also right in between the recruiting-rich areas of New Jersey and the Pittsburgh metro. I don't see Bucknell ever becoming a football school at this point. But then again whoever would've thought that Colgate would become the PL flagsip hoops program? |

Who would have thought that after wandering in the desert for a few decades HC FB would find an oasis that was not a mirage?

I have to apologize to Bison Nation. I forgot they were in the league championship game a couple of Springs ago. |

I have to apologize to Bison Nation. I forgot they were in the league championship game a couple of Springs ago. Have to hand it to them for going 2-1 in the mighty Patriot League. What a gauntlet! To be fair, I thought the Bison came to play in that game. We went out ahead early but they made it interesting in the 2nd half. |

Bucky is a league member with a great fan base for hoops. Would love to see it matched in FB which winning would contribute to. Love to see two bids in the PL become a habit. With five or six OOC games per team per season, there's nothing stopping it except the PL teams themselves.
