News and Notes: Cornell's RPI Climbs to No. 26, Penn Falls to No. 333 out of 347

Below, some news and notes...
  • The Dagger, a sports blog of YahooSports.com examines this week's A.P. Top 25 Poll. The site writes with respect to Cornell's three points in the latest poll, " Surprising: One ballot had votes for both Cornell and William & Mary this week. Even more surprising: It wasn't John Feinstein's (even though he had W&M and Richmond on his). Dave Jones voted for both schools on his ballot." The above photo of Cornell's Chris Wroblewski defending Syracuse's Andy Rautins is featured on the site.
  • After his Bucknell squad fell to Binghamton, Bison head coach Dave Paulsen told reporters, "We played a really emotionally draining game at Cornell [just two days ago]. It made this one tough."
  • Penn is Jeff Goodman's "Dud of the Night" on FoxSports.com. Goodman writes, "Penn dropped to 0-8 after a 78-60 home loss to Albany. Glen Miller's Quakers need to get it going after a 10-18 season a year ago." Check out Cornell and Penn's RPI rankings by continuing to read this post at the link below.
