From another thread a couple of weeks ago:
Looking at the above rankings from Athlon, Lindy's, and Blue Ribbon, here are the average rankings thus far:
1 Bucknell 3
2 Boston 9
3 Navy 10
4 Lehigh 11
5 Colgate 13
6 Loyola 18
7 Army 21
8 Holy Cross 23
9 Lafayette 27
10 American29
At the moment, I would pick them in the same order as the above, although I think HC could move up a bit if they get good play out of three freshmen.
The average of the predictions was almost exactly the same as the official PL poll.

In response to Bison137
Most people have probably forgotten what the preseason poll looked list last year, but incredibly the Bison did not receive even one 1st place vote. Based on that poll, the Bison, Army, and Navy overachieved. And Lehigh, American, and Holy Cross underachieved.
2016-17 Patriot League Preseason Poll:
1. Lehigh (17 first place votes) 161
2. Boston University (3) 139
3. Bucknell 132
4. Holy Cross 115
5. American 86
6. Colgate 83
7. Loyola Maryland 69
8. Navy 49
9. Lafayette 43
10. Army West Point 23
