Okay, it's a poll that hasn't had any meaning since northeastern teams started joining conferences, but we'll take it.

"Exactly who is eligible for the poll is tough to summarize quickly, because teams from states bordering the Northeast can also be eligible if they play half their schedule against eligible teams. The two most recent winners have been Cincinnati and West Virginia, who played enough eligible teams by virtue of their being in the then-Big East."

Cincinnati would have played Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Syracuse and Connecticut during the conference schedule. That is not 50% of their schedule against east state teams as defined by this poll. They were eligible because all Big East teams were automatically eligible.

The MAC would have to add Temple and UConn back to the conference while Ohio plays Rutgers and Penn State in the non-conference for the Bobcats to qualify. Unless the MAC East became an automatic eligible division for Lambert purposes.

HA! UMASS>UCONN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
