Preseason USILA coaches poll:
[URL unfurl="true"]https://usila.org/[/URL]
Rank Team (First-Place Votes)        Points
1 Maryland (21)        623
2 Syracuse (1)        576
3 Princeton (2)        573
4 Cornell (5)        527
5 Georgetown (2)        483
6 Notre Dame (1)        446
7 Penn State        438
8 North Carolina        429
9 Richmond        382
10 Ohio State        378
11 Duke        357
12 Army        267
13 Harvard        262
14 Virginia        207
15 Towson        145
16 Boston        115
17 Johns Hopkins        112
18 Rutgers        99
19 Albany        82
20 Michigan        78

Also receiving votes: Yale (26), Utah (16), Colgate (15), Dartmouth (13), Saint Joseph's (11), Fairfield (7), Virginia Military Institute (7), Bucknell (6), Navy (6), U.S. Air Force Academy (5), Denver (5), Brown (4), Delaware (4), High Point (3), Jacksonville (3), Siena (3), Villanova (3), Robert Morris (2), Lafayette (1), and U Mass Amherst (1).

- Looking at the breaks, the first really big one of 90 occurs between #11 Duke and #12 Army. Then we get a good sized one of 62 between #14  Virginia and #15 Towson.
- I think if we assume that some of Cornell's 5 first place votes came from pollsters who vote last year's champion #1, we might divide this up into some tiers
top tier: Maryland, Syracuse, Princeton
2nd tier: #4 Cornell - #11 Duke
3rd tier - #12 Army - #14 UVa
4th tier - #15 Towson - #20 Michigan
