Lycoming may have been bitten by the .500 SOS threshold that seems to be being used.  Their SOS was right at .500 the previous week, but dropped to .497 this week.  Of course, they were always a borderline team given their low SOS, so maybe the committee honestly felt upon looking it over again this week that there were eight better teams from the region.

Thanks for the quick response,

Will the SOS rise after teams they've beaten like Rochester moved up to 4th in their region?

Seems odd that teams like Catholic, Hopkins, Haverford, and Swathmore all have 5+ losses and are ahead of Lycoming, regardless of SOS thats 3 more losses. Although I agree SOS is a big factor and teams like Lycoming do lack in that department, it feels like the committee puts a bit too much emphasis  on it.

Hey all new to the scene but I was hoping some one could shed some light on why Lycoming College dropped out of the Mid-Atlantic region completely... With a win in their last game against an underrated Hood College, who was tied for second in conference play at the time, taking them to a 11-2-3 record and a few teams ahead of them in the region losing  it just doesn't seem make sense as too their disappearance.
