D.C. Sports Bog's Atlantic 11 Men's College Basketball Poll
A strong showing all around
Not a bad week for the locals. Georgetown remained unbeaten. William & Mary took down Wake Forest. Richmond felled Mississippi State and Missouri. Morgan State toppled Arkansas. GW hosted a sitting president. And Virginia survived against Cleveland State. I think some critics of voting patterns might have a good bit to sift through here. Have at it.
