Maine wasn't the only team that beat two weak teams and went down in the rankings this weekend, either. Cornell thoroughly blew out Union, and beat RPI, and yet fell from #24 to #27. Schedule strength, I'm sure, was a factor, even though the blow-out at Union should have given us an extra five points. But you also have to remember that other teams are going to climb higher in the rankings by beating strong teams. The teams they pass when they climb have nowhere to go but down. I don't have the rankings in front of me any more, but I'd be willing to bet that somewhere between #1 and #26 are at least one or two teams that were below Cornell before this week. So what happens if we sweep Vermont and Dartmouth, two weak teams, at home this weekend? Do we drop down to #30? 8-) -- Jeffrey "BJ" Anbinder '91,'92,'93,'94...
