We might be looking at a Top 20 finish in the Capital One Cup this academic year.
Cross Country, Soccer, Field Hockey, Football could get us off to a great start this Fall.
We won't get close to top 20, we don't play enough sports. But we should move up between 40 and 50.
If we get to a F4 in Field Hockey, do well in the other Fall Sports we will be in the Top 20...to stay there would need a few more F4's.

In last Fall's Director Cup standings we finished #32. We scored 45 pts in Men's CC, 60 pts in FH, and 40 pts in Women's CC.
We won't be getting any points in women's CC, we are already in the F4 in FH so will have a minimum of 83 pts there with a potential for either 90 or 100 if we finish runner-up or NC. We need to finish 15th or higher in men's CC to get at least the 45 pts we got there last year. If we get to a bowl game we get 25 pts if we lose it and 45 pts if we win it. And by beating Cornell tonight in men's soccer I believe we already will have 50 pts in that sport with a potential for more if we continue to win.
So, if we finished at least 15th in men's CC, do not go any further in women's FH or men's soccer and lose a bowl game, we will have accumulated enough points to finish in the Top 15 based on last year's Top 15 qualifiers for Fall sports only.
Where we start to lose ground to other programs is in the Winter Sports, but maybe this year women's basketball and women's ice hockey will help the men's basketball by scoring points. Lately we recover from the Winter sports with a nice Spring score with men's and women's lacrosse, women's softball, and men's track and field, but it would be nice to see us finally start to score some point in women's tennis.

Nice recap. I was actually looking at this last night and the men's soccer will make up for the women's CC. And hopefully we make a bowl game to push through more points. We really falter during the winter sports and then come back strong during the spring (bball, lax, softball). I think we have a decent shot of breaking our record finish of last year (#50).
i gotta ask you..and im ashamed i cant think of who it is..but who is that sexy broad jumping all over the place?If we get to a F4 in Field Hockey, do well in the other Fall Sports we will be in the Top 20...to stay there would need a few more F4's.
