Re: WCHA vs tRest
Correct. No conference has a lockdown on the title of "best" in college hockey. Not to say that hasn't been the case before or can't be one day, but it's not the case right now and hasn't been for several years.
The WCHA is NOT the SEC. The SEC actually has lapped most of college football in recent years. They've won the national title something like four years in a row and almost all of them were convincing, plus there have been years when the two best teams were obviously meeting in the SEC CG. They completely dominate out of conference, etc.
That's what bothers me. If people want to say that Michigan Tech and Alaska-Anchorage are way better than Merrimack and Lowell, fine, they're probably right but there's no actual way of testing or knowing that. It just sounds silly to take the leap from that to "WCHA is the SEC of hockey."
It all works in cycles. From 2002 to 2007, the west dominated the east with the national titles. The last three years it's been the east's turn at it. It will swing back again soon enough...
