Lax poll 3/22 Cornell +1 to 9th

Cornell dismantles Yale and moves up one spot to ninth. Princeton barely survives Penn, in OT, and holds on at fifth. Virginia and Syracuse still 1-2. Ivies at 5, 9, 15, 16, 19 and HM. Only Dartmouth goes unrecognized. Is Lafayette really good enough to be in eighth? Their wins are over Fairfield HM, Binghamton NR, Penn HM, Wagner NR, Navy HM, and by 1 last weekend over Bucknell 20th. I think voters still remember the margin of the Virgina win over Cornell.

Shouldn't they?

Not only should voters remember Cornell's loss to Virginia but also Lafayette's strength of schedule that got them to 6-0 and one position ahead of Cornell. But, heck, let the Leopards enjoy their time in the sun.

At least nobody's in the top 10 with a losing record right now. Consequence-free polling seems to be the order of the day in lax.

Do we need to add something to the spelling guide? (See thread title)

They let you graduate without knowing how to spell the name of the school?

(Says the guy who misspelled "college" on his Cornell application.)

I'm guessing you spelled it "Coolidge."
