This time of year, we tend to rank teams based on what they lost. Once the games start, then we remember that the most important factor is the players that are actually suited up.More of an overreaction, I'd say.
1. Minnesota
2. Boston College
3. Wisconsin
4. Harvard
5. Cornell
6. BU
7. Northeastern
8. Mercyhurst
9. UND
10. UMD
No Kessel, no Minny
1. Clarkson
2. Wisconsin
3. Basten College
4. Hahvad - Pucci
5. Cornell
6. Minnesota Duluth
7. Basten University
8. North Dakota - Tapani
9. Northeastern
10. Mercyhurst
Agree...come on who are you kidding…although the loss of Kessel is huge and I believe they are as vulnerable as anytime in the past four years…no way does it justify a change. Why you ask….Brandt, Cameranesi Bona, Menafee, Lorance, Ramsey, McMillen, Stecklin, Leveille,…not to mention arguably the best freshman class in the country…so please.
Kinda puts a damper on the sandbagging bit...
1) Minnesota
2) Boston College
3) Wisconsin
4) Harvard
Gap
5) Cornell
6) Clarkson
7) Boston University
8) North Dakota
9) Quinnipiac.
10) UMD
Astute observations all around.Dropped Mercyhurst based on ARM's input and dropped NoDak by 1. UMD gets the open spot due to peer pressure. No adjustment to the top 4 despite the loss of Kessel and Pucci because all these teams have a lot of depth and BC have yet to show they can win all the games they should.
I don't really know what to expect from Mercyhurst, because the Lakers did manage to make the Frozen Four in back-to-back seasons despite not having a roster that grabbed that much attention. Now their best player has graduated, but that doesn't mean that Mike Sisti doesn't have a future star arriving to replace her. It's a safe bet that by the end of the season, some team from the CHA will be in the top 10 rankings. This is the first year that I can remember where it could possibly be any of three teams from the league, not a slam dunk for the Lakers.Dropped Mercyhurst based on ARM's input ...
I'm enjoying reading through this threadI do have a question. Why the huge love for Clarkson?
The first regular season games of the year are Friday, September 26th.
All ballots will be due by noon America time* on Wednesday, September 24th.
The preseason poll will be released shortly after. If anyone else wants to make changes to their ballot by all means do so but please put it in a new post.
HOCKEY SOON

We were very high on Ohio State, weren't we?I'm enjoying reading through this thread
Probably, yeahMaybe time for a new thread when the poll gets posted?
I can't believe so many people started the year with North Dakota in the top, like, 2We were very high on Ohio State, weren't we?
Look how many times we get suckered into thinking that BC will win games when it matters. We're all slow learners.I can't believe so many people started the year with North Dakota in the top, like, 2

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
