Approaching Day One perhaps we should look "ahead" instead at the recently released rivals.com pre-season rankings. Here they are for the PL:
Holy Cross = 77 Bucknell = 94 Lehigh = 233 American = 253 Colgate = 268 Army = 277 Lafayette = 282 Navy = 298
As for LU's OOC competition, the numbers follow:
Cornell = 107 St. Peter's = 331 St. Francis = 284 Albany = 204 Maryland = not yet released yet picked 5th in ACC NJIT = 334 Quinnipiac = 261 Central Conn = 222 Stony Brook = 288 Harvard = 262 Monmouth = 279 Penn State = not yet released yet picked 9th in Big 10 Columbia = 153 Princeton = 202
Same observation: Whether looking at Sagarin or rivals.com data, Lehigh seems well-placed to compete in OOC and PL play this year.
