Quinnypack.

Here's hoping they remember an SCSU fan called them overrated next month so our threads aren't insanely boring.

Overrated before the season, yes. When I hear people talk about who's overrated, though, I think of teams that are highly rated right now that actually aren't that good. I haven't done enough research on other conferences to say who's overrated and who's not, but in Hockey East, I would say UNH is overrated.
 
Re: Top 5 overrated teams this year..

My call is Cornell... vs. CC on 12/29 should be telling... vs. UNH 1/3 will tell even more.

A 6-0-1 run in Hockey East... Who's left in HE? Maine (beat 'em)... BC (tie)... UMass... Really? (Again I think, "Who have they played?")

What sort of research are you doing in other conferences?

My reasons for why UNH is overrated are right here.

Not nearly as much as I do for Hockey East, which is why I said I don't feel comfortable calling anyone from other conferences overrated.

The only team in the top 4 of that list not ranked above UNH nationally is Maine. If UNH is overrated, it's not by much at this point, and I would doubt they're one of the "top 5 overrated".

Also, the stats mentioned are overall, correct? So, they include the early OOC games. UNH is playing much better now than when they went out to Wisconsin.

I was just saying I think they're the most overrated in Hockey East. I'm sure there are more overrated teams nationally (Cornell, Yale and Quinnipiac come to mind as possibilities).

Stats are overall, yes. PWR isn't gonna ignore those early struggles, so neither am I.
 
Re: Top 5 overrated teams this year..

Cornell by far....Who have they beaten ? They belong right now at #10-15 somewhere. Every year this happens and as the year progresses they stumble.

My only argument against this logic is that we're not highly rated. We're in first place in HE, but that's not a rating; win games, get points. Win the most up to this point, in first place. As far as the polls go, I think UNH is pretty close to where they should be; lower section of the 'middle' (can't think how to say that better). Reading the articles, nobody's saying, "I knew UNH would be there." Looking at the way this team started, UNH is a surprise conference leader at this point.

I would have raised an eyebrow if their recent run of success had vaulted them higher in the rankings, but they are a team who still has a lot to prove. Tons of potential and a huge upside, but lots to prove. The Cornell game in January will be highly educational.

how about you pick more eastern teams?

Gophers are always over rated (even if they're not rated). Sioux would have a better record if they could hold a lead and not have 4 extras against them on the ice during some times (not saying it doesn't go the other way).

Vermont is overrated...sub .500 record and still receiving votes? 6th in the HE.

Overrated ?? Wouldn't you have to be rated?

Any votes recieved are probably based on the fact that the PWR has them at 17th. And considering they are unranked in the polls that doesn't seem to be overrated but underrated. Whereas in compares UND is 6th in the polls but 13th in the PWR, making them more overrated then UVM.
