I think that OSU is ranked right where they should be and Bemidji may make an entrance into the top 10 before the year is over. Your comment is not accompanied with a ranking so not sure where you have these teams. Having said, you could say the same about many teams this year. What about Minnesota? Are they overrated or is Minnesota State underrated? How about Clarkson and their challenging weekend with Vermont or their loss this past Friday against Qinnipiac? Are they overrated? What you are seeing is parity which makes every weekend interesting for most women's hockey fans. Or maybe you simply prefer blow outs!
I would much rather see a close game than a blowout, I don't think I am qualified to submit a top 10 list. I have only seen about 1/2 the teams everyone is ranking. however I do follow box scores pretty close. just seems like teams that don't even get top 10 votes are going 1-1 on weekends with the loss being a one goal game (minus a few empty nets) and the following week you see no change for the most part in the top 10.
