Other than a reminder that we were in the dance, this shows that Norlander, etc. know nothing about our team

Here is where CBS ranks the PL team versus where they finished 9n Ken Pomeroy--yes, two different systems, but Kenpom is easy to check
Team= LY/TY= Chg (+ means the team moved up towards #1)
Lehigh= 190/159= +31 Bucknell=173/184= +11 Boston U= 231/205= +26 Holy Cross= 285/215= +70 Navy=204/279= (75) Army=254/301=(47) Loyola= 288/304= (16) Colgate=256/314=(58) American U=319/324= (5) Lafayette=327/342= (15)
This ranker has bc moving up 30 places versus its final kenpom despite the fact that bc is losing a significant percentage of its minutes/pints/etc as we discussed on another thread.

In the Massey preseason ranking, the PL has the following numbers: 194 Lehigh 211 Bucknell 231 Navy 254 Boston University 273 Colgate 274 Army 279 HOLY CROSS 316 American Univ. 317 Loyola, MD 355 Lafayette Of course, this is NOT accurate to any reasonable degree and merely serves as a starting point. Do not get bent out of shape if these ratings do not match your expectations (and in the Case of HC I certainly hope they do not). There are 351 NCAA Division 1 teams. In the Massey pre-season ratings there are 500 teams ratings shown (of all divisions). The 355 of Lafayette means that there are some teams from other divisions that are rated ahead of the Pards. BTW - Assumption is rated 730 by Massey (#230 in Division 2)

Where is Nichols rated? Just asking.

Although a longshot, if HC wins one or more of the first four games, they will be back on the national radar. I for one, do not think the late season run was a fluke; and they have the potential to give someone a big surprise early.

You are quite right that this has little value, but we do scrimmage Assumption and, before folks get too worked up, these ratings do make it seem that this should not be a very challenging match-up.

do we have any 'closed' scrimmages against D-1 teams

Crusaders should handle Assumption easily, even allowing for coach experimenting with rotations

Any Pre-season ranking, especially one that puts all divisions together, is useless for predictions, especially in an exhibition

Any Pre-season ranking, especially one that puts all divisions together, is useless for predictions, especially in an exhibition I would go a bit further. They are indeed useless, except as entertainment and for speculation.

An exhibition can be useful in demonstrating an individual's skills and even a team's play making, but not a team's competitive strength.

I would refer folks to what I posted in the first post off these pre-season "rankings." "Of course, this is NOT accurate to any reasonable degree and merely serves as a starting point." I guess some people simply like to get bent out of shape about something...even if it is not worth the time or the energy.

I think both HC and American are going to be way better than projected.
I hope we look strong against Assumption; but, there's always plenty of upsets/close scares in these games across the country, so I won't get unhinged if we have any struggles.

Where is Nichols rated? Just asking. Favored to win the Commonwealth Coast Conference. Ranked #87 in Division 3 and #991 in the combined rank.
