Rankings from The Sports Network poll

William & Mary only played 10 games due to a cancellation of a game against Maine, which had been scheduled for September 27. The presidents of the A-10 awarded Maine a victory and William & Mary a no-contest as a result of the cancellation of their game. The decision of the presidents, based upon the recommendation of the league's directors of athletics, was unprecedented in A-10 history. Factored into the decision were Maine's efforts to play the game and the understanding of the unique circumstances facing William & Mary in the aftermath of Hurricane Isabel. However, the NCAA does not recognize the win in their official records.
