Any shuffling coming up after last weekend?With the season just about to get underway, time for the pundits on here to weigh in on the polls.
IMHO Big Red are the team to beat this year, finally bringing that crown east.
My Poll:
1 - Cornell
2 - Wisco
3 - UMD
4 - Hurst
5 - BU
6 - Minny
7 - Clarky
8 - Harvard
9 - ND
10 - BC

I think you may have Wisco more accurately placed than the USCHO pre-season poll, for one thing.
So, let's start some controversy....That looks about right.
I would expect Clarkson to garner some votes.
My vote is obvious, but I'd be honest about it regardless. Last year I wouldn't have voted for the Bulldogs for the same reasons nobody else would have. But I like them this year.
Cornell had a hell of a run last year, but I like Mercyhurst in the east especially since they're hosting the Frozen Four this year. The title stays in the west this year.
Early on the East lays claim to the sun, but as time passes, it becomes obvious that it will return to the West....I venture the Champion will come from the East-like the sun does every day!

Way too early but at this stage, talent wise, I would say it will come down to:
West: UMD, Wisconsin, Minnesota
East: Mercyhurst, Cornell, Boston University
Odds of one of these teams winning it all? My best guess: 95%.
Odds of a West team winning it again? My best guess: 70%.
Not sure why they'd have more access to the door than OSU after losing to a team that the Buckeyes swept. There seems to be a reward for teams that started their season earlier. Although that breaks down in the case of Cornell -- must be an Ivy thing.Honorable mention to PC knocking at the door.

I have a question about Boston University.....what exactly is it that has people excited about them enough to think they can win a National Championship? Or for that matter think they belong in the top ten? Just curious. I don't really know anything about them.
