Man, what a jump by Ohio State after a huge takedown of the Denver Pioneers on Sunday. The last few weeks, there has been a lot of turmoil at the top of the polls. In this week’s Media Poll six different programs earned a first place vote, including the Syracuse Orange which otherwise hasn’t gotten much movement in the polls. Notre Dame continues to move around in the top 5 while Duke moves up once again. Virginia fell to Notre Dame by one goal on Saturday moving the Cavaliers further down the rankings. Finally, UNC got beaten by Richmond last Monday and was able to turn around and destroy Dartmouth, but the Heels are still trending downwards.
