Pre-Season Pope's Poll

Forty-one Catholic colleges and universities compete in NCAA Division I basketball -- here�s a divinely inspired poll predicting how they will stack up on the hardwood for the 2005-06 season. Weed ending November 21st.

Headed for Hoops Heaven: the "Saintly Sixteen"

9. St. Josephs
10. Dayton
11. Holy Cross

In Purgatory, at least for now: Canisus, Detroit, Fairfield, Fordham, Loyola (IL), Loyola-Marymount, Niagara, San Francisco, Santa Clara, St. Francis (NY), St. Mary's (CA), St. John's, San Diego, and Seton Hall.

humerous = humorous

In hindsight,

- Holy Cross and Manhattan belongs in Purgatory.
- Canisius and Fordham belong in Hangin' in Hoops Hell
- Loyola MD and Siena belong in Purgatory

It would be fun if this guy organized a committee of fan representatives from each school and came out with a weekly poll...maybe I'll suggest it!

They are controlled by a secular Board of Directors. Thats not just semantics.

Marist is a school based in the traditions of the marist brothers -- while not affiliated directly with the archdiocesce of NY - they are still a catholic college -- it is simply semantics...
