We haven't had this thread this year.
My guess on the top 5
1. SNC
2. Norwich
3. Oswego
4. Stevens Point
5. Babson
And you can make a case for Plattsburgh as 5a.
Too many undefeated and one-loss teams for me to put Stevens Point in the top 5.
My guess: not many changes.
1. SNC
2. Norwich
3. Platty
4. Babson
5. River Falls.
Others undefeated:
9. Mass Boston
11. Bowdoin
I don't see Oswego jumping UP two spots by losing their only game.
1) SNC
2) Norwich
3) Babson
4) Plattsburgh
5) Stevens Point
5A) Oswego
Oblivion this week.At least the Primelink Champion is receiving votes...

I'm surprised that Bowdoin only dropped 2 spots after a disappointing weekend.
The jury always seems to be out with regard to UMass-Boston. A quick review shows a dreadful schedule with the exception of a 5-3 win over Trinity. I would like to see them stop messing around with MASCAC and the like and step up and play the ECAC West and SUNYAC teams for more street cred. I think they would do okay, but we'll never know until they break out of their shell of safety. It must hurt them when they have to face Norwich and Babson later in the year. They need to re-evaluate their OOC schedule; Just my opinion.
Easier said than done. The SUNYAC teams are a little far away (with the exception of Plattsburgh, who really doesn't have room for them on the sched). Maybe they could get into the Cardinal Classic... As for the ECAC West, Manhattanville would seem to be the closest team, but a much further trip than the MASCAC.
that would seem to be a viable option for the beacons. Plain and simple, if they have aspirations of ever grabbing one of those precious pool b bids, they're going to have to do better than 17-18 wins and split with norwich and babson. There's always the pool a bid, but from what i saw of mcshane's team, that's going to be a tough route.
