Illinois has been playing solid lacrosse all year and are more athletic than Lindenwood thus expect them to upset Lindenwood for the AQ.

LMU keeps moving there way up the poll with good reason. If they beat UCSB this weekend they are in if UCSB wins then UCSB will shoot back up to take their spot, but with a number of teams in the SLC playing well, and the WCLL and PNCLL weaker this year expect a third SLC team.

SUNY Buffalo's strength of schedule, or lack thereof, makes it tough for them to move into the bracket. With a win over Boston College on the 10th it could happen, but after almost a month off and against a very good BC team don't expect it.

Central Florida looks to be the "Sunshine State" ugly stepsister this year. Just not enough room for them to move and three Florida teams can't happen yet.

Texas State needs to upset Texas at least once, and maybe twice to get into the national tournament. Once is unlikely, twice is impossible.

Utah is the team in the bottom of the poll that may have the best shot to jump into the mix. With a regular season contest against # 5 BYU on April 10th and then the RMLC playoffs shortly thereafter the RMLC could find themselves with a third team in. The question would then become does Florida lose out or LMU?? Probably LMU, but lots of lacrosse to play before we know for sure.

Thank you again for getting this far with me.
