National polls haven't come out yet, but if the men are #2 in the West they will likely be somewhere in the top 10-15. That's my guess anyway... though it's hard to know how other coaches will look at the team with John Moore and Michael Kilburg gone. But with David Kinsella back and with Alfred Kepchemba (sp? - too lazy to look it up) on the team now and tons of depth, hopefully it will be a case of reloading rather than rebuilding.

But I was really impressed by the women's #6 ranking... definitely a sign that the other coaches are giving the Pilots some respect. It would be awesome if the women could crack into the national rankings this season!

We were ranked 34th last season but we're definitely looking for a top-30 official ranking!
