You did a fantastic job skewing the data to prove your point. I'll give you that and nothing else.

It looks to me like Oneonta is improving and plattsburgh is going the wrong direction.
No mention of Allegheny going 1/2/5 this weekend at Oberlin. If Ross/Zimmerman/Hanson can be up there with other three, it could make things real interesting.

agreed...they need to tighten that spread if they want to make podium
I know this argument is old and gets brought up every single year, but if you live in Wisconsin, and can’t run for Madison, why wouldn’t you go run for one of those schools. They’ve got 5 of them ranked in the top 30, they’re almost all kids from Wisconsin (which is a pretty small state population wise to begin with), and they continually pump out fast guys, year after year. It would seem to me that it has less to do with size of school and tuition costs and has more to do with the fact that the quality of the teams is just better. Saying they don’t belong is kind of a slap in the face to all the other teams that consistently beat them or compete right with them.
I guess when I look at the teams ranked in division 3, it’s almost always the same ones. Williams, Mt. Union, Calvin, North Central, Augustana, Grinell, St. Thomas, etc… every year there’s always the usual suspects in the rankings, yet, I don’t hear people complaining about them. Maybe that’s because when it comes down to it, great teams with great coaches will always be great programs, that helps recruiting more than tuition does. And if you picked your school based upon the academic aspect of it, well then I really don’t understand what you’re complaining about, especially when no one is forced to go anywhere. Be happy with your participation award, if you’re not, train more.
Lots of good conference meets this weekend... SUNYACs, Erudite Eight (The Artist Formerly Known as the Nerdy Nine), Centennials, and a few more I'm sure I've missed.

CCIW is this weekend too, although NCC and Augie are the only two good teams in it this year. Wheaton seems to be in a rebuilding phase.
WIAC, MWC, MIAA, SCAC, IIAC, MIAC, UAA - all this weekend
Williams, Calvin, North Central ... Grinell?!?! hahahahhahahhahahhahahhahahhaha
At least spell it right... Grinnell... but I do think they're ranked WAY too high in their region. I hope they get upset at the MWC meet.
But, yeah, looking forward to a weekend of great Conference meets! Good luck to everybody out there!
yeah, I know it was spelled wrong ... i was laughing at the guy earlier who said they were one of the consistent top programs like those other schools.
Didn't keene take down plattsburgh handily last week? how are they avoiding the rankings so well.
Did anyone else see today's rankings? Is there a reason that no teams changed position?

**denotes repeat poll
That's why.
Why is it a repeat poll????
Because you touch yourself at night
Ricky is a 5th year senior. He's working on his MBA now.
It's a repeat poll because so few teams compete the week before the major conference meet weekend. The pollsters decided it wasn't worth it to put out a new poll when there wouldn't be much, if any, movement.
Except in the Atlantic womens poll, where the coaches finally moved NYU and Brockport ahead of TCNJ, whom both beat at the Oberlin meet. Why TCNJ is still ranked so high in the NCAA poll is absurd. I am sure you can appreciate this MK.
dont forget about keene
