    Elmira played like they were the #1 in two games against top teams. St. Thomas will surge if they continue their success, as they have yet to play Gustavus 1/11-12, UWRF 2/6 and Hamline 2/15-16. This weekend's results have rewarded us with a great race to the finals with many teams in the mix. Imagine the fun come bracket time.

        Big weekend for the Tommies. I’m going to try and watch some of Saturday’s game after I get back from the Norwich women’s game.

          St. Thomas' record is a full two games better than anyone else. I agree the schedule is not as crisp as the eastern teams (plus Adrian) that keep playing that round robin. Plattsburgh, Elmira, Norwich, and Adrian have each played at least 4 games against top 5 opponents already, but unbeaten deserved a shot at the top after everyone ahead of them lost this weekend.

            Let's talk after the home and home with Gustavus; two Tommies wins will make them #1 in next week's polls.

              I seriously doubt it. Gustavus is not as strong as they used to be when they used to win the MIAC regularly, and they're not as strong has those top Eastern teams. A St Thomas sweep will not put them in the number one spot.

                Gustavus has won or shared the MIAC title the last two years and three of the last four. That seems like "regularly".
                If St Thomas is the only undefeated team, they should be #1. Simple.

                  Except none of those MIAC teams are as good as those eastern powers, simpleton. In general a western team, any western team, needs to win a national championship before it can legitimately be talked about in the same breath as those eastern teams. How many years has it been since a western team won it all? Oh ya, never! And believe me I have rooted for them to knock off the eastern teams to win it all because I'm bored seeing the same teams win the title all the time. They just haven't been able to do it. That makes the weekly poll discussion something of a moot point. (Those that know me know I like to stir things up a bit and I'm home sick in bed today so take it all with a grain of salt.....or two. )

                    Hamline did beat the four-time defending national champions last year...

                    I’m not saying St. Thomas is the best team in the country but if they sweep Gustavus, they absolutely have a claim to the No. 1 spot as the lone undefeated team remaining.

                    Let’s remember as good as Elmira looked this weekend and believe me they looked VERY good, they also lost to Williams, who well having a good year, is not generally regarded among then eastern elite.

                              St. Thomas, at home, defeated Gustavus 3-1, on 13 shots and surviving 1:40 defending 5x3 to open the 3rd. Rematch at Gustavus this afternoon. Any western witnesses?

                                Neither of these two teams sounds worthy of a #1 ranking. Lol.
