Duquesne at home against #198 Bowling Green

Duquesne Neutral against #240 Eastern Mich.
Rhode Island neutral against #238 Columbia
Rhode Island home against #284 New Hampshire
Fordham at home against #289 Dartmouth
GW on the road against #291 LIU Brooklyn
Fordham at home against #292 Bryant
Rhode Island at home against #297 Army

I think Massey tried to include Division II and II schools too, so the numbers don't match up with RPI at all. However, its still a good representation of which teams have the best wins.

Duquesne and Rhode look like they have the highest ceiling from the remaining teams with Fordham slightly behind them. GW is the only team to have a road win in this list. We may not have seen the best from GW yet. La Salle overall has a good resume. Massey Ratings currently have La Salle higher than Fordham and GW. No bad loses, but no huge wins.

	Fordham FORDHAM Fordham University is an independent Jesuit university established in 1841 as St. John's College on old Rose Hill Manor in the village of Fordham, then part of Westchester County in the Bronx, NY.

Rose Hill is the name given to the site in 1787 by Robert Watts, a wealthy New York merchant, in honor of his family's ancestral home of the same name in Scotland. The College was originally staffed by diocesan clergy. The name was officially changed to Fordham University in 1907. Fordham's 10 schools enroll 14,448 students. There are 7,652 undergraduates, of whom 3,842 live in University-managed housing either on-campus or in the local community. Fellow members of the A10 Conference. Nickname is the Rams.
