\"\"<\/a>Last week we were fortunate to be invited to vote in the CAA Bloggers Poll. The poll ranks the CAA basketball teams from 1 to 12 with the results posted to VCURamNation.com each week. The voting panel is made up of a number of CAA hoops experts and well respected bloggers from around the league. And us apparently. You can view this week’s poll results here<\/a>. To the surprise of absolutely nobody, VCU earned the top spot in large part due to an impressive blowout victory over Richmond. Our Dukes ended up in the 4 slot.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We really couldn’t be more excited to be a part of this. Each week during the season, we’re going to post a link to the poll results and also post our entry. Sometimes we might feel the need to explain logic and other times we’ll just post our list alone. We encourage you to weigh in with your opinions on our rankings in the comments here, and on the overall results over at VCU Ram Nation. Without further ado, our entry for this week is below.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
1. VCU<\/div>\n
2. Georgia State<\/div>\n
3. George Mason<\/div>\n
4. ODU<\/div>\n
5. JMU<\/div>\n
