A weekend for the ages turned the Inside Lacrosse Media Poll upside down — and it is only Week 1.

The preseason No. 2, 3 and 8 teams lost games in which they were highly favored — and teams ranked 4, 5 and 6 haven’t even played yet. That means, outside of No. 1 Virginia solidifying its spot following a win against Michigan, it’s a bit of a start from scratch in the poll.

The biggest mover is Johns Hopkins, which went from unranked and receiving votes (the 29th-most in the country) to a tie for No. 6 after its win against Georgetown. Loyola leapt to No. 11 after knocking off Maryland.

Syracuse is into the Top 20 at No. 18.

Now, who fell?

Georgetown went from No. 3 to 12, Maryland went from No. 2 to 9. And Duke, which started with two assertive wins before falling to Jacksonville for the second-straight year— dropped from No. 8 to 16.

Now, four of the Top 5 teams in the country have not played — three of them Ivy League teams. Valentine’s Day is a Top 20 matchup between Johns Hopkins and North Carolina.

There are plenty of weeks to go, but Week 1 is going to be tough to top.
