With Atlantic 10 play kicking off Friday, I asked media members around the league to redo the preseason poll based on nonconference results.
• All but one voter picked Dayton first.
• Everyone picked Saint Louis last.
• Richmond dropped five spots which is the biggest different from preseason poll
• GW up three is the biggest improvement
• The top four was some combination of Dayton, VCU, URI and Davidson on all the ballots
1. Dayton – same
2. VCU – plus 1
3. Rhode Island – minus 1
4. Davidson – same
5. GW – plus 3
6. SBU – minus 1
7. La Salle – same
8. UMass – plus 2
9. St. Joe’s – same
10. George Mason – plus 2
11. Richmond minus 5
12. Fordham – minus-1
13. Duquesne – same
