It's unclear why BU leapfrogged us over the summer. Maybe the swine flu outbreak at Cornell makes us look vulnerable?
Did Notre Dame have a lot of early departures?
I feel even better now that ness180 said Cornell will be "moderately okay" in the comments though. ;-)
In all seriousness though, this is a big opportunity for Cornell. It appears like they will get the preseason national attention and have a schedule to go out and try to back it up as well.
