NU shouldn't be punished heavily for losing close games to two strong teams. Especially since they were picked to be one of the top teams in the league this year (and rightfully so). Nothing they've done so far has warranted them falling out of the Top 4.

I am more willing to listen to the argument for UNCW being above W&M, however. 5/6 is where we should be right now. Beat Delaware and that changes things significantly for us.

Wait, is Delaware a strong team or aren't they? Maybe NU and William and Mary are pretenders and Delaware really isn't that good? This blog certainly dooesn't give Delaware any credit for beating NU and William and Mary.

If they are a strong team, they should be ranked ahead of NU and the Tribe and the loss doesn't mean much. If they are a weak team(as ranked), then William and Mary and NU should have beaten them and should be ranked lower. Either way, those three teams aren't ranked on reality but wishes and desires.

I agree, hence why I have Delaware at # 3 in my rankings.
