Is their a reason other than name recognition for why CU is ranked ahead of UAlbany?? Tonight, CU plays Duke in North Carolina, so that game should shake up the top 5. I guess we want to route for Duke tonight. I guess the ND and Army wins are good for Cornell, so that may explain their #1 ranking.

 

Cornell's schedule so far and results:

Somehow CU's stength of sched is #7 to our #26. Also the power rating takes margin of victory into account and they're about +8.2, we're around +5

Could playing Siena be pulling down our SOS ranking?

Could playing Siena be pulling down our SOS ranking?

Absolutely, though we'll take a bigger hit when we play Hartford. Can't do anything about conference teams.
