          I could see some shuffling at the top after this weekend's results. The Top four teams all lost one game, but as you can see from the results, it becomes an interesting jiggsaw puzzle.

          Number 1 split a set with number 8
          Number 2 lost to number 4 and won over number 10 and an unranked team.
          Number 3 split a set with an unranked team
          Number 4 won over number 2 and lost to unranked team
          Number 5 won games numbers 11 and 12

          Do you move 4 above 2 ?
          Do you move both of them above 1 ?
          Does number 5 move up ?

            Re: 2010-2011 Division I Polls

            My preferred ranking is
            1. Wisconsin
            2. UMD
            3. Mercyhurst
            4. Cornell
            5. BU

            I agree it makes sense to rate Mercyhurst over Cornell, given that Mercyhurst beat them on the road, and I don't think Cornell's results in other games are enough to push them ahead. Mercyhurst has won the only game between top 5 teams to date. I heavily discount Mercyhurst's performance against Niagara (though the L will hurt Mercyhurst in NCAA seeding), though Cornell and BU did perform much better shorthanded.

            It'd be silly to drop UMD below Mercyhurst for losing to Bemidji since Mercyhurst did the same.

            Wisconsin I'd keep at No. 1. They're 5-1 against quality WCHA opponents. No one else can match that.

            I'd keep BU at 5, though I expect in the actual poll, they'll move up because they have a better record than UMD or Mercyhurst, but I don't think their schedule has been as difficult.

            My prediction for the actual poll is
            1. Wisconsin
            2. UMD
            3. BU
            4. Cornell
            5. Mercyhurst

                A little surprised there was no movement at all in the top 6 but I agree with the rankings for the most part. I think the voters probably took into account the fact that some of the teams that lost were without some of their top players.

                    Niagara 4, Mercyhurst 3 (OT) (last weekend)
                    Bemidji 2, UND 1
                    Vermont 1, BU 1 (OT)
                    SLU 7, BC 3
                    MSU 5, OSU 3

                    Wow, so that's quite a few results where you think the result might have been different were it not for the 4 Nations Cup (though credit to BU for pulling off a 5-2 win over UNH without their stars).

                    (not on the list: Qpac 4, Harvard 1 one this list -- don't see that one turning out different if Pucci & Katey Stone were here)

                    Hopefully the relatively favorable scheduling for Cornell / Minnesota / UMD / Wisconsin doesn't end up playing a major role in determining which 8 teams play NCAAs or get to host.

                      I am going to have to argue a bit with you on this point. Sure, I agree with your premise with Mercyhurst/Niagara, but Mercyhurst should have had enough reserve firepower to beat a struggling Niagara. An over-dependence on 1 or 2 players is not the symbol of a good team.

                      As for some of the others, Minnesota State did beat North Dakota earlier in the season so beating OSU is not that far fetched. Similarly, Bemidji beat both Mercyhurst and UMD when both teams were at full strength. And Vermont has a way of surprise tying Hockey East teams. It is always a bad idea to underestimate them.

                        Not following why you think that teams like Cornell (Harvard & Dartmouth) and UMD (BSU x 2) have a favorable schedule as opposed to Mercyhurst, which only had a single game versus Niagara during 4 Nations absences. The list of teams missing people because of 4 Nations is larger this year than I can remember when you include BC, UND, OSU, and MSU to go along with BU, MC, Cornell, UMD, and Harvard. Wisconsin and Minnesota didn't have to play while their players were gone, but outside of the Gophers' trip to Clarkson, neither has had their full roster for a game yet this year, so I don't know that absences being tied to 4 Nations makes them any more damaging. If one starts putting asterisks by losses this year, where do you draw the line?

                        UMD was w/o Larocque and Irwin, plus Gray was injured, when they lost in Bemidji.

                          I was going to disagree because the game was on November 5th and I thought they didn't leave till the 6th. However, after reviewing the scoresheet, I do agree they weren't there.

                          And I think that may be part of the problem. I don't remember this event stretching over two weekends in the past. 2 weeks seems like a pretty long time for students to be missing school.

                            The event doesn't stretch over two weeks, but Hockey Canada added a team camp to the front end of it. Other countries had camps also, but they didn't require their collegians to attend. Hockey Canada has other priorities.

                                I agree. Although, I guess the "not active" teams make it a little less interesting than usual.

                                BC also tied SLU.

                                I think the top 5 in the country are obvious. After that, one might be able to put about a dozen names in a hat and pick them out to fill the ranking. Dartmouth has the 3rd best winning percentage, and their loss is to the team with the 2nd best win %. Are they a legit contender, or just off to a good start? How good is "Q"? PC has some good results, but they've also lost a couple games one wouldn't have expected them to lose. Interesting indeed.
