On 11-13-21 the PL Championship could be determined in the Bronx. Great to have Fordham in the league for football. Closer than most PL schools. Army may be about equidistant with less congestion to get there. I would trade AU and Loyola for Fordham and Fairfield. Navy would probably disagree.

Given the numbers of pre-season all PL players as well as Offensive and Defensive POY why did the other coaches rank us above Fordham?
Team Play?
Coach Chesney?
Execution?
Winning Culture?

Does anyone know the formula? Obviously, there are 14 voters (assume the HC and AD from each of the seven schools), but how many points for a first-place vote, etc? Is this a you-can't-vote-for-yourself poll? My solve for x and y algebra skills aren't what they used to be, so I'm forced to ask for the answer sheet!
The primary reason for my asking is to determine if there may have been voters who did not have our Crusaders in their top two.

We beat them by 10 last year and neither team lost much ground with graduation? I do think they are pretty close and our greatest challenge in the PL. |

Picking HC first was certainly expected but who had Colgate to be picked last in this poll? Is the still unexplained departure of Dan Hunt a bigger loss for the Red Raiders than previously discussed?

The primary reason for my asking is to determine if there may have been voters who did not have our Crusaders in their top two. Two votes by each school, and you can't vote for yourself. Each 1st place vote is worth 6 points (since there are six schools a given voter has to rank) and a 6th place vote (which is last place on a given voter's ballot) is worth one point. So since there are twelve voters casting votes for a given school, with six points for a first place vote, a perfect "score" would by 12 x 6 = 72 points. A team that was a unanimous pick for last would have 12 points. |

For easy reference here are the point totals
2021 Patriot League Football Preseason Poll
Holy Cross (11 first-place votes), 71
Fordham (3), 63
Lafayette, 44
Lehigh, 35
Bucknell, 30
Georgetown, 28
Colgate, 23
So HC's two voters had Fordham 1st. HC got all the other first place votes except for one voter who had Fordham first and HC second.

well, they sure don't think much of Lehigh, eh ? They think of Lehigh more than I do this year! I see Lehigh going 2-9 or 3-8 in 2021 given their schedule and serious coaching issues (Gilmore and OC Brisson). I'm honestly shocked Lehigh was picked 4th ahead of Bucknell since the Bison have beaten the Mountain Hawks the last 2 years. I see 2021 as Holy Cross/Fordham and everyone else in the league. Bucknell and Lafayette seem the most likely imo to potentially spring an upset and jump into the race. |
