When you beat Harvard by eight, you weren't expecting to lose to the Crimson in the Beanpot either.
Well played, given that I am absolutely worried that that might happen -- it's been a long time since then and both teams are playing differently (i.e. pretty much exactly your point RE: Minnesota and North Dakota)When you beat Harvard by eight, you weren't expecting to lose to the Crimson in the Beanpot either.

"Zero bearing" is an overstatement. And BU has demonstrated that it can be inconsistent from day to day, not just November to February -- see Vermont.
Every team is different from November to February. I get that Harvard has come a long way, but other teams improve as well. Sometimes teams learn from tough outings; other times, they repeat them. Given teams play so few games, we can't entirely throw some of them away and pretend they didn't happen. Harvard lost as recently as a week ago, so I'm guessing it is still a work in progress, as are all teams until their seasons end.
