Re: USCHO Women's Hockey Posters Poll

BC leapfrogged the Q and BU, and that's about it.

I have a feeling we'll have quite a bit of dissent this time next week.

In my view 1 thru 4 should clearly be top 4. After that it's difficult to arrive at any definitive conclusive order...for me.

Right now, BC is playing like a top 4 team, but they still have to show they can do it consistently. They need a comfortable win against BU for me to be happy moving them up.

QU are I think still being underrated, perhaps because historically they haven't been that good. Their only losses to date have been to Harvard and Clarkson, and they have a tie with Cornell -- not shabby.

Re: USCHO Women's Hockey Posters Poll

Two spot swaps compared to last week. Harvard and BU moving up at the cost of UND and BC.

Top 7 are 3 from the WCHA and 4 from the ECAC.

1 - Minnesota (1).....W, W.......Still no 1 by a big margin.
2 - Wisconsin (2).....W,W........Despite tie with UMD, moved further ahead of Cornell.
3 - Cornell (3).........W.........Despite the split with BC, kept them ahead of idle UND, courtesy the better overall W/L record.
4 - Harvard (5)........W,T.......Move up spot, beaten Clarky, Tied Cornell, so moving ahead of UND.
5 - UND (4)............W,L........Split with Clarky, now side by side with them.
6 - Clarkson (6).......W,L.......Split with UND, joined at the hip with them.
7 - Quinnipiac (7).....W,W......Another 2 wins keeping them ahead of BC and BU.
8 - BU (9)...........W,W,W........3 wins vaulting them over BC
9 - BC (8)..............T..........Tie with Harvard, but BU's winning ways cost them a spot.
10 - RMU (10).......W..........Solidly in 10 with another 2 wins, but need to win big games before they can move up.

MU the only team knocking on the door, but they are well behind RMU at the moment.
 
Re: USCHO Women's Hockey Posters Poll

My rankings feel like a complete mess once you get past the top 3...

1) Minnesota -- Duh
2) Wisconsin -- There's an argument to be had to put Cornell here but tough to with Cornell idle
3) Cornell -- See #2
4) Harvard -- I guess I have to put Harvard here if only because the cluster below it is even worse

Now it gets pretty much impossible.

5) Boston University -- Did not see that sweep of Duluth coming. They shouldn't be this good with what they lost but apparently they are.
6) Clarkson -- Big split over North Dakota and generally on the rise.
7) North Dakota -- 2-3-1 in their last 6... but against ridiculous competition.
8) Robert Morris -- Will they please lose?! I'm convinced BC is going to have to pass them to make the tourny as an at-large but they are really starting to freak me out.
9) Quinnipiac -- Dropped two spots despite a perfect weekend because 1) BU and 2) I made a bit of a correction for RMU as I don't think I've been giving them enough respect.
10) Boston College -- See Quinnipiac, though our tie with Harvard made me very optimistic. That's two straight VERY strong games to end the first half.

:confused: ... TTT overselling BU and underselling BC...That would never have happened with the old TTT.....Mellowing ?.

Does the CHA have an autobid? I can't remember if they do or not. If so Mercyhurst is really the only team that I could see realistically surprise people.

Actually I take it back -- with how weak Hockey East is a team like UNH could surprise everyone and earn the right to get slaughtered by the Gophers.

Not until next year.

They'll earn the right to get slaughtered by Harvard. We'll play North Dakota.
