Lacrosse Is Coming: USILA Preseason Coaches Poll & Mini-Aggregation.

The season’s right around the corner! Shout out to all the D1 BOSSES for blessing us with their preseason poll. Everyone up at Syracuse is stoked that they are 5th and Vermont is plenty happy to also be receiving some votes. Shout out to our man @ScottHensley for sending us the Inside Lacrosse post on the coaches poll. You can find the full poll below.

Also receiving votes: Villanova, Penn, Army, Richmond, Cornell, Stony Brook, Georgetown, Bucknell, Harvard, Boston University, Quinnipiac, Hobart, Vermont, Colgate, St. Joseph’s.

As I said in our College Crosse Preseason Top 20 Rankings post, preseason rankings are always tough because in essence they are just guesses. We haven’t seen any real games, and therefore it’s tough to justify why you ranked a team where you did or critique someone else’s ranking. Moreover, preseason polls are more about where you think a team is to start the season, not where you think they’ll finish, so you should always read these polls with a large handful of salt. Nevertheless, it’s always great to have some fresh content to discuss.

I’ll do a proper aggregation once Lacrosse Magazine puts out their top 20, but for the time being, here’s a table comparing the USILA poll with the Inside Lacrosse preseason top 20.

While not in identical order, both polls have nearly the same exact teams. The one difference is that the BOSSES have Ohio State in their top 20, while Inside Lacrosse has Richmond instead of the Buckeyes. Other than that, both polls have the same 19 teams in the top 20.

We’ll have more to discuss once everyone’s gotten a chance to check out the polls, until then, let us know what you think in the comments section. #LacrosseIsComing
