Well on one hand this is probably the first time we haven't been picked last or second to last I think we deserve a little more respect. From what I understand we could be even better this year.

4th is "not well liked"? I don't see it.

The voting was very close in the middle. So close, in fact, that Colgate, Georgetown and Lafayette are functionally interchangeable. Georgetown did receive two first-place votes.
I'd agree that Bucknell got a snub. But given the closeness in the voting for the middle three, I really don't think that the head coaches and sports information directors, whose votes make up the pool, treated Georgetown unfairly.
"Not well liked up there" might be taking it a bit far since no one at the Patriot League's home office cast a vote. The votes came only from the member schools, including Georgetown.
Good luck in the upcoming season.

Once can be an aberration (I would have said fluke, but this is a Georgetown site, after all ), but twice is a trend. If the Hoyas are strong this season, the PL and the press will believe.

And how many times have we finished above 4th in the Patriot League?

Is Fordham not in the Patriot anymore?
I came over to post about the Rams just picked up a transfer QB from Connecticut - former All Met Michael Nebrich from Lake Braddock (Ramell Ross) - but I'm not even seeing them in the preseason poll!

Fordham was placed on a form of league ineligibility for offering atheltic scholarships before the rest of the PL (minus Georgetown) will. Games with Fordham do not count in the standings, Fordham cannot compete for the PL title, and their players cannot be named to all-PL teams until 2014.
Fordham is currently at 45 scholarships and 60 equivalencies for 2012 and is considered eligible for I-A teams to play for bowl consideration. The Rams play at Cincinnati before playing Georgetown later this year.

Wow. I had absolutely no idea about any of that.
