In reply to: JoeStag 's message, "MAAC - Top half, Bottom half" on 12:32:02pm 01/09/06 Mon,

I think the league is going to end up with three tiers, Manhatten and Iona at the top, a group in the middle that plays 500 and a group that loses 12 games each. STP, Loyola and Cansius are not at the same level as Manhatten and Iona and it seems they have gotten their wins beating up on bottom teams: Niagara, Rider, Fairfield, Marist and Siena. I expect those teams to start ringing up the losses when they face Iona and Manhatten. On the other hand Niagara, Marist, will win some games as they have to play each other, and they will manage to beat other bottom tier schools.

I think at this early point the standings are quite misleading. While Loyola beat Fairfield, they did not leave me feeling that they won't end up around 500. They don't seem to be as good as Cansisus or Saint Peters. Nor did they make me believe that they will beat Siena.

The next week will be very telling as to where teams really fall as some of the bottom dwellers will begin to face off. I'm not willing to put Fairfield, Siena, Loyola or Cansius into the middle or bottom group until they play at couple of more games....
