pirates are definitely improved this year but i'm siding with geo mason here. ecu's 3-0 record has been against all cupcakes while geo mason has played much stronger opposition, and fields one of their better teams this year, picked to finish on top of the colonial. ecu has also traditonally played fairly well in greenville, but horribly on the road. now, this year's first road trip takes them to fairfax to face a better team.
