2019-20 DIII Polls, Rankings

Re: 2019-20 DIII Polls, Rankings

Here's the updated poll for 12/2:

1 Plattsburgh [10] (1)
2 Middlebury [5] (8)
3 Norwich (3)
4 Gustavus (4)
5 UW-Eau Claire (6)
6 Adrian (2)
7 UW-River Falls (7)
8 Elmira (5)
9 Hamline (9)
10 St. Thomas (10)

Getting votes: Colby-9, Naz-9, Endicott-7, Williams-1

So Plattsburgh only loses 5 first place votes for losing to then #8 Middlebury. Adrian falls 5 spots for tying the 8 and losing to the 7. Elmira falls 3 after losing to Eau Claire but Eau Claire only moves up 1, likely for only tying St. Thomas. I think River Falls staying the same despite beating the then #2 Adrian by 3 goals is unfair. Yes they lost to #1 Plattsburgh the night before but that was a much closer game than the score line indicated and they played much better than Adrian. But these are the same voters giving 9 votes to Colby because of an anomaly in the PairWise, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Did you watch the Midd-Plattsburgh game? I did not see it all but the first period belonged to Plattsburgh other than the scoreboard. Middlebury made the shots they took count and Plattsburgh could not bury it. I still believe the voters got it right for the most part.

I was in Middlebury for all of the games (I only missed most of the first period of Adrian vs Midd) and I agree with your evaluation and I agree the voters got right leaving them at 1. I was merely pointing out the effect the loss had on them in the ranking.

I do think River Falls should be at 6 given how handily they dispatched the team above them. I also think it's ludicrous for Colby to have 9 votes when they only played 5 games and the only decent opponent was Williams. And while they beat Williams, the Ephs aren't off to a good start themselves.

it's early in the season...you are complaining that Colby has only played 5 games against mostly week teams (and got a whole 9 pts)....Middlebury has only played 6 games. and is ranked #2....sounds like its more Strength of schedule then number of games at this point.

Anyone here know if Obserbear is ok? I haven't seen any of his typically insightful posts this season.

It was mentioned in another thread that he lost his long battle with cancer last spring. His insight has definitely been missed this year.

I think she had a leg injury last season. She played in the last game of the past semester. So hopefully we see more of her in semester two.

She was removed from the roster, I think she might be done for the year. I'm hearing she still wasn't feeling right after what happened last year, it is a long recovery process.
