A little surprised they didn't drop.

A little surprised they didn't drop.

If by "they" you mean the Big Red, they do have the longest unbeaten streak in the nation.

Hey, I aint arguing; if it were up to me they'd be #1 every week. I was just thinking that a less-than-stellar score v. RIT might bias those pesky western voters.

I'm having trouble remembering a time in the past few years when Cornell's moved down after having done nothing but win the previous weekend, even if it is a weak win against a poor team.

Teams don't usually drop after a winning weekend unless the teams around them had a particularly good weekend. NoDak and Michigan both split and Maine swept but only against Lowell. So no reason to drop us.

Mmmm, food weekend.

We outshot RIT very badly and the voters don't read eLynah. All most people know is that we won and might have won by a lot more. I wouldn't expect a drop just because we played a bad team either.

Meaning that the pollsters have more sense than the RPI? (Fortunately, as I said before the game, it doesn't count towards our RPI.)

Sad. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. And where are all those extra smiles? I get an empty popup in Firefox AND IE.

Happy now?

XLNT! thanks, Age.
