Not sure Oswego belong at 13 maybe 19 or so.

Who else belongs ahead of them ? That's the problem.

Potsdam

Potsdam

The argument there is look at the Platty games H to H. These voters look at more than W/L records ! As a Card fan I would still rather play Potsdam in an elimination Tourney than Oz.

Given how easily they handled Potsdam on Saturday I'm with you.

So you choose to look at the games played against Platty but fail to look at the H2H game that Oswego and Potsdam played? How about look at the Cortland games H to H?

There's no way that Oswego should be ranked higher than Potsdam at this point in the season. History and name recognition are the only reason they are.

No...but I saw a frustrated group of Lakers that I really believe have more skill and talent. I am sure it was hard to play that game after the loss the night before. I am not really looking forward to the Feb 5th game because I know what Oswego really has. A far as Cortland....I can remember Plattsburgh falling into the...It's Cortland trap.

No doubt, History and Name recognition is a big part of why Oswego is ranked ahead of Potsdam, you may think it's unfair, but Oswego History, means they have done something, they earned the name recognition. Potsdam will have to win something more then a single league game against Oz and a blow out loss to Plattsburgh to get the respect they feel they deserve.
