After the big three of ACC, B1G, & Ivy…the Patriot is the next best league…
Keep in mind, the PL has been operating at a massive disadvantage the last three years as the B1G and ACC and Big East build and fix rosters with older and experienced players…the Patriot is not allowed to take 5th year transfers…huge huge disadvantage.
Army, Loyola, Lehigh, BU are teams that will compete with the big conference teams…you also have teams like Navy and Colgate and potentially Lafayette that are trending up…
When RU beats a top 4/5 PL team, that’s a quality win all day
Lehigh has been a very solid program for a long time…I was interested to see what they look like this year after the changes…and let’s see where they are at in another month…
We all do it, but don’t over react either way after week one…give it 5-6 games and then you see where water is finding its proper level…
