Lehigh Football Nation

This past Wednesday was Patriot League media day for the 2004 season. First the important news: In the pre-season coaches' poll, Lehigh is picked to finish second: Patriot League Preseason Poll Team (# first place votes) Points 1. Colgate (12) 72 2. LEHIGH (2) 59 3. Fordham 51 4. Bucknell 40 5. Lafayette 26 T6. Georgetown 23 T6. Holy Cross 23 Lehigh Football Nation's take on this is: I'm not sure if Lafayette's fifth-place showing in this poll is a reflection of the strength of the Patriot League this year, but to me they have the potential to be a surprising team this year. I'm not saying they will win the title, but they don't seem to me like a fifth-place team. Just a hunch.
