The Loyola Maryland vote must be a mistake. They’re 1-3. They beat Delaware State and lost to St. John’s, Temple, and Dartmouth. Loyola Marymount in Los Angeles however is 5-0 with wins over Georgetown and unlv

You're probably right. ESPN shows 2 votes for Loyola(MD) not Loyola Marymount, but that could just be a mistake on the part of ESPN. It could also be that the voters made mistakes.

Our opponent on Dec. 8, Maryland, is ranked 24th in this weeks AP Poll. Another big test in our non-con schedule.

Great news!!! Our SOS is looking better and better

If Furman (unofficial 28th) and BC (5-1 just beat a previously undefeated Minnesota) continue to have strong seasons this non-con could be far better than expected.
