Foy's logic continues to be hard to follow.

Catapulted Harvard to #1 because of the Cuse win but then severely punished Cuse for that loss to his now #1 team.

Holding Princeton at #4 despite their three top 20 (and 2 top 10) wins.

Dropping UNC all the way to #9.

Using his own poll as a metric his rankings 1-3 don't make sense. All undefeated (Harvard, ND, Richmond). Harvard's best win is his #10 Cuse. ND's best win is his #12 Georgetown. Richmond's is #8 Cornell. ND is the only of those three to now have 2 top 20 wins. Based on his own logic Richmond should be his first. Harvard probably has the weakest case.

Seems like he (and probably other pollsters) are trying to make sense of some very convoluted records and not really asking themselves the right questions. Focusing on early season record instead of quality of play and opponent is an easy way to spend all season scrambling while putting rankings together.

Princeton is clearly playing the best lacrosse right now.

I know it doesn't matter but it certainly gets tiring how these "professionals" don't really have a good grasp on what's happening and push narratives off that misunderstanding.
