Here is what I think the next two polls should look like...and I am putting in my predictions for next weeks games as well, Michigan wins conference tourney, BYU beats CSU for RMLC title...
#1- BYU
#2- Oregon
#3- CSU
#4- Santa Barbara
#5- Michigan
#6-Arizona
#7-Colorado
#8- Minnesota Duluth
#9- ASU
#10- Sonoma State
#11- Boston College
#12-Georgia
#13- Northeastern
#14- Texas A&M
#15-Florida
#16-Lindenwood

That is how I think the Final Sixteen will shake out...I am not sure about the movement this week...but by next week this is where I think teams should be...not where they will be...

Just my opinion...I could be wrong...

This is how I see it right now.

1. BYU
2. CSU
3. Oregon
4. UCSB
5. Arizona
6. Colorado
7. ASU
8. Michigan
9. UMD
10. BC
11. Sonoma
12. Georgia
13. Florida
14. TAMU
15. Northeastern
16. FSU..............(out)
17. Lindenwood
18. Utah.............(out)
19. V Tech..........(out)
20. Cal Poly........(out)

Unless Utah can pull something together, those are the final 16.

Any particular reason lindenwood is so far behind in your polls?

well because you lost to cal poly, and your only win against a top 25 team is against illinois at #24.

who should you be ranked ahead of??? If anything you should be ranked behind utah as well, they have some quality wins on their schedule.

Georgia for starters. The Calpoly loss was our second game of the season, but there are no excuses. I feel we are a much different team. This is all IMO and usually I don't get involved in this type of thread because it's all opionion based. I wasn't trying to start a debate about LU just wondering about others opinions.

This one looks pretty spot on to me. I think Michigan and ASU might switch spots just because Michigan hasn't done anything to really warrant a 4 spot drop, and ASU had the loss to UCSB. But other than that it looks good.

Why LU ahead of Georgia???

I just don't see anything in the results from thier schedule that make me think they are better than LU. And I am of course biased, but so is everyone else on these boards.

Georgia has 4 wins vs ranked opponents, LU only has 2. What is it about Lindenwood's schedule that makes you think they are better than UGA?

Granted UCSB won the WCLL, but that loss to Chapman accounts for nothing? #4 might be a little high, but again not everyone (except CSU) has this storied of a past. The Notre Dame Football of college lacrosse!

agreed....I don't even want to begin to rank these teams against one another, but i know 2 things for sure.....UCSB is too high, and UMD is too low

by **yourmom** on Mon Apr 30, 2007 3:26 pm

I just think LU got looked over after playing CSU to within a goal of what was a back and forth battle. That goal came with less than 3 mins left and CSU did a good job killing the clock. Granted a loss is a loss, but it seems like It was completely ignored. The fact that LU has shown they can hang with a team that caliber says alot in my mind even if it wasn't a win. Georgia has yet to be tested with a top 10 team.

To me, Michigan does not have as strong of resume as ASU (or any of the teams I have ahead of them).

18...Utah
.......Chapman
16...Texas A&M
3.....Oregon
4.....Michigan

Loses
1.....BYU
5.....Colorado
8.....Arizona
9.....UCSB

Michigan
Wins
14....Florida
17....FSU
13....Lindenwood
22....Michigan State

Loses
10.....ASU
2......CSU
1......BYU

i think a lot of why lindenwood has remained as high in the polls all year is because of that game you mentioned
