Strange that, in all 3 polls, Princeton shot all the way up to #4 on the strength of beating #5 Cornell... hmmm...  I guess we were a mighty fine #5!  :-)

As with most polls, reputation matters.  I suspect Princeton is among the four best teams in the country this year, but I'm not sure they've played to that over the entire course of the season.

IMHO, Duke, with five losses, should not be ahead of us.  Their only good win was Sunday over Virginia and I think our Syracuse win was stronger.  The other five (JHU, Syracuse, Virginia, Georgetown, and Princeton) are the top five, with Georgetown still somewhat of a question.

Al,
The coaches agree; the coaches poll is now up (use zg88's link) and has Cornell at 6th and Duke at 7th.
