3 top 5 teams in a row on the schedule, good chance ND is there by the time we see them too, if Syracuse goes on a run after Duke they might get back there too.

No one complains this year about a weak Cornell SOS. We're playing / played: 1, 4, 5, 7, 13, 20 and three also-got-votes. I thought Albany had votes when we played them. We missed out dropping Colgate (for this year only?) for St. Bonaventure, a D1 newcomer. Army is back in the top 20 and I miss that series. But how do you know several years in advance if it's better to play Stony Brook or Albany, West Point or Hofstra or Colgate?

Also Lehigh vs. Bucknell? I prefer playing playing Lehigh because every time I see the "Battle of the 'Nells" headline, I have the urge to bitch-slip whoever was responsible.

I prefer Lehigh because I work with a few Lehigh alums - and the field is only about 10 miles from me.

Isn't there some sort of emoluments clause prohibiting such shameless promotion of self-interest on this board?

You don't see other people promoting opponents, such as Bryant, Ohio State, or Rutgers, based solely on proximity to their places of residence.

I make no money from having a game at Lehigh  ::innocent::

But I'd do Rutgers.  That's drivable, too.

FWIW, I'm watching the Lehigh-Rutgers game right now.  ;-)

And BTW, how does Fanlax come up with the points it uses to rank teams? And what on earth do its ratings mean?

I received an email stating that chapter 2 of "The Season" is now available.  I just looked at the Florida women's results--they are only 3-5?  Yikes--should make for an interesting chapter 2. (grumbling for the Cornell men's team too if chapter 2 covers the Penn State and Yale game)

Available where? I searched ESPNU's listings for the next week or so and didn't see it on the schedule, and I assumed it wouldn't be on ESPN+.

[nshapiro]

It has already aired, probably twice.
Watching it I had no idea Fla was doing that badly.  It does show some close losses to really good teams, but never mentions their record.

The Charleston tournament is included.  I won't discuss any spoilers, in case you don't know the results**]

check the cornell sports twitter - they tweeted out a link

Now available online, and well worth watching:

i watched the first on on ESPN,, the 2nd one never showed on the schedule just 100 replays of the lax preseason show.
