Let's hope so. Yale is only getting faster since they've gotten back on the water, and the only point of comparison will be against mutual opponent Syracuse, who Stanford will see at ACCs.  As for polls...meh, there are heavy blind spots where data are sparse.  The pollsters didn't see Washington coming last season because of a reduced race calendar, but that didn't mean Washington wasn't fast.  I think Yale is severely underrated right now as a medal contender, but of course I want to see Stanford win it all.  I have more analysis, but this isn't a rowing forum lol.

I'd love to see more analysis. If you can't get into the minutiae of collegiate rowing here, where can you?
