Who’s Hot?
Princeton (+7): The win on the road against Johns Hopkins gives Princeton a strong start to 2013. “I thought we played with a lot of poise, and I’d have to say I was pleasantly surprised by it,” Tigers coach Chris Bates said.
Syracuse (+6): Just when you’re ready to get out, they pull you back in. The Orange’s overtime win Friday night against Virginia gives Syracuse hope the rest of the season.
Cornell (+4): Rob Pannell and Co. couldn’t have had a better game Saturday against Colgate, a 19-3 win.
Ohio St. (+5): The Buckeyes rallied from six-goal halftime deficit to beat Penn State in overtime in Happy Valley. Ohio St. is 4-0 for the second time in program history, the last time being 1966, and host No. 7 Denver on Saturday.
Who’s Not?
Penn St. (-5): The Nittany Lions coughed up a lead at home to Ohio State and paid the price.
Colgate (-5): What was expected to be big game with Cornell was essentially over midway through the first quarter, flashing back to Colgate’s blowout loss to Duke in last year’s NCAA tournament.
Who’s Out?
Duke: After a woeful February against its tougher competition and a 16-7 loss to No. 1 Maryland on Saturday, most coaches aren’t giving the Blue Devils the benefit of the doubt any longer.
Albany: The Great Danes managed only eight goals in a loss to Yale after averaging 17.5 in its first two games.
