2013 MCLA Pre-Season Polls
  • Polls released for D1 and D2 today. I know not to put much emphasis on a preseason poll but it is fun to look at. What did you guys think?

    All opinions are my own unless otherwise stated.
  • Glad to see 3 teams representing the PNCLL in the top 25.

    It looks almost exactly the same as the post-season poll from 2012, so I can't say I'm surprised by any of these picks

    especially with only 1 of 27 voters from the PNCLL

    Opinions are my own unless otherwise noted.
  • What are some teams that will surprise and move into the Top 25 in both D1 and D2 this season? Seeing as it usually takes a season to convince the voters they belong, and since the first poll is a carbon copy of the 2012 final poll, I'm curious who has some new recruits mixed with returning talent that will make a run?
