i don't see how Middlebury can be anything above 10. The argument all along is that they haven't lost to anyone below them...now they have...drop em like their hot!

P.S. - I'm glad to see at least the people on the fan opinion poll recognized Trinity losing to Middlebury and Williams. The USCHO pollsters seem to have forgotten as per the poll this week. Move up one spot after beating Nichols? Elmira should therefore be No. 1 for beating Buff. State, clearly.
Just for fun....A little something I'd like to call the Mania Rating
Does it make any sense? I don't know, but I was bored...
X = Win against teams over .500
Y = Losses against teams under .500
Z = Win %
(((X-Y)/(X+Y))+(.10(X-Y))+(Rutter Rating)+(RPI))

Middlebury lost to Hamilton![]()
Amherst lost to Colbyyet we both have Amherst No. 3 with two teams ahead of them that they are 2-1-0 against on the season. So every team that now beats Colby is a quality team? And Trinity lost to Williams, a team with one less tie and two more wins than Hamilton. We're not talking the difference between No. 1 and No. 47 here.
