Parts of CAA basketball may be postponed due to COVID, but our Power Rankings aren't!

Check out our ranks and let us know what you think. Drexel is a tough one to analyze thus far.

Did Drexel play and lose a game that I missed. It says that they're 2-5 and lost 2 in a row. They lost to JMU but beat W&M the week before. Did I miss a game?

Drexel is 2-4, and the blog has at least two mistakes. It also says "at this point, some CAA teams have only played nine games, while others have played just three." That implies that nine is the highest amount, but Hofstra played ten games.

Great catch! Definitely missed that one; just changed/updated. Appreciate it.

Highest total is 10, lowest is 5.

I would have had us 5, W&M 6 and UD 7, but hard to argue with the list they had. CofC needing 2 comebacks to beat us and our only other game at the writing was a last minute game on the road at JMU. 3 losses are that and without diving deep into the games, its easy to write those off as just 3 losses. Without the ever-changing schedule this whole season is hard to make heads and tails of. To me Northeastern is way above everyone else, JMU is closing that gap and Hofstra is staying above the other 7 teams. After the top 3 there is a pretty big gap between anyone else, and it appears most are interchangeable. But hard for me to have Drexel behind W&M when Drexel is 2-1 against them, with 2 very convincing wins. W&M is playing better than Delaware as well, at least against better teams.

For Drexel, splitting with Hofstra is a big victory for the season. Will be interesting to see if we get to make up many games, especially since we lost out on "easy" wins losing the the Elon and UNCW series. With Delaware and Towson coming up, if the dragons plan to not be a middle of the pack team this season, these next 2 series need to be big ones. Neither Delaware or Towson are any good. Anything less than 4-0 has to be seen as disappointing and telling at the same time (I am expecting 2-2 FWIW)
