1. Georgetown (12-4)
400 (34) Next: Thursday vs. West Virginia

2. George Mason (14-3)
361 (7) Next: Tomorrow at Northeastern
In winning the Father of the Bill of Rights Showdown with James Madison, the Patriots secure the Feather Quill Pen Trophy yet again. (John Albers)
3. Virginia Tech (12-5)
292 Next: Tomorrow at Wake Forest
Everyone in Blacksburg is busy preparing for this week's game at undefeated Wake Forest, nobody more so than Seth Greenberg's pharmacist. (Max Wasserman)

265 Next: Tomorrow at Georgia State
My how the tables have turned: Looks like Larry Sanders is the sidekick now. (Christopher Ring)
5. Maryland (12-5)

6. VMI (14-3)

Keydets are giving up 86.2 points per game. And this from an institution that prides itself on training its students for national defense? (Bill Fitzgerald)
7. Liberty (13-6)
131 Next: Tonight at High Point
Patrick Henry to his bookie: "Give me Liberty and lay the points!" (bsopchak)
8. American (11-6)
127 Next: Saturday at Holy Cross
In beating Colgate this week, the Eagles give credence to the rumor that they are a bunch of anti-dentites. (Chris Bocquet)
9. Navy (13-5)
84 Next: Tomorrow vs. Holy Cross
