Men's lax drops to#10 in Inside Lacrosse poll
- Thread starter mdk01

The rankings are rather comical. We go to Maryland, the number one team and lose by one but drop three spots in the rankings. If we had won we would probably be ranked around five or four. The bottom line for us is we need to win our last two games, make the B1G tourney and then make the NCAA's. We can still do that.
Most teams move up with that performance. Lacrosse rankings are a complete joke. Syracuse ahead of us is criminal.
Right. Which is completely flucked. Albany lost by more to one of the worst rated teams in all of D1 and dropped 1 spot.
It all makes no sense. The only way to play it is:
1) Infiltrate the committee. Brian, Pat, someone needs to get on that committee and nation build.
2) Win the conference tournament so there is no subjectivity.

Last week's poll had Syracuse #7, RU #8 and Cornell #9. I could see Cornell #7, RU #8 and Syracuse #9. How Loyola jumped anyone by beating BU shows the Baltimore/ACC Mafia working overtime.
Not squashed, but the next 2 games are vital. Beat OSU and they are the B1G Tournament. Beat PSU as well and their ranking stay high, which is important for an at large bid. Win 1 in the tourney and they are almost a lock, as the B1G will send an absolute minimum of 2 teams. Lose in the first round and they are at the mercy of AQ prevarications. A Marquette win over Denver like last year, or a similar upset in another conference means they may get shut out by lower ranked AQ teams as they'll give a Denver or Albany a nod over a 3rd B1G entry.
Just need to get in the tourney. If we could somehow get a home game you could lock us into the quarterfinals.
