A surprise edition of the Eighth Man Rankings! Thoughts:
Boston makes big jump. Boston, boosted by their win at NERC jumps to 7 past Marquette, a team that won the Midwest Cup and came in second at the Collegiate Cup behind the number one team.
Texas is still ranked 6th after a WxSW win.
LSU missed out on a big fall, falling from 8 to 11 while Kansas fell out of the rankings. I don't get why LSU didn't fall behind Baylor though because Baylor beat the Tigers at the Collegiate Cup.
Everything else looks good. BGSU jumped all the way to 13 (maybe a little high) after a second place finish at the Midwest Cup, Hofstra and Tufts joined as a result of semifinal runs at NERC. McGill still sits at the 21 spot even though they won the Canadian Cup.
For the first time, Middlebury is undisputedly not number 1. MiddQuid received no votes.
With these thoughts, I understand that the Eighth Man doesn't have a final say and that they simply add the votes of the voters, but some of these things just seem odd.
