Interesting all of your fact are east upsets vs east teams while your west schools continue to get thumped out here. I wish you had presented Finlandia beats Elmira or Marian upset Plattsburgh. Because thats what it looks like when your west schools lose out here to bottom dweller eastern teams. But hey nice tie vs Potsdam.

You're clearly too dense to see my point. You are saying that when top Western teams come out and play lower/mid-pack Eastern teams and lose/tie, they are completely inferior to the entire East. MY reference was to the fact that the top Eastern teams ALSO lose/tie some of the lower/mid pack Eastern teams as well -- Yet, they are still considered the best. Does this make sense or would you like me to break it down more for you?

See my post in the "Official east is better than west IN D3 thread"

The whole east is inherently better than the west, therefore the west still sucks.
 
Re: Women's DIII 2009-2010 Fan Opinion Poll

well of course your going to have upsets when east teams play against east teams. You can't expect a season to go with out upsets. The west teams had an opportunity to get it done vs some east teams and failed to do so. That should not represent the entire west either.Thats my 2 cents. Although I don't feel that 3rd place ecac west teams and second place nescacs should be ranked higher than 1st place miac e ncha teams. that's not fair.

I think valiant's point is that if the west is going to complain about not being considered fairly, then you come out and make sure you win in the east. Amherst had another chance to beat colby and did their job, for example. When you don't get a second chance, you can't screw it up. HOWEVER, amherst did the west thing last year and got swept out of minnesota. they come back east, win their conference and boom...a natty champ. i believe the "best" team right now still didn't lose to a lower/midpack team and the "second best" team beat Plattsburgh in the first week of january, beat elmira once, beat and tied everyone's beloved trinity, beat and tied middlebury and beat and tied RIT. So i mean, i don't know. it would seem to me that lake forest can schedule non-conference matchups against gustavus or RIT. gustavus is 7 hours, RIT about 10. Plattsburgh and Potsdam travel 10 hours to play conference games against Chatham. make a point. play tougher non-conference games than augsburg and saint mary's. but then that might blemish a two-loss season. one-loss if the ncaa is looking, that is.

I think too much credit is given to a 3rd place ECAC West team. How can you be 3rd in your conference and 4th in the country? I just think that your league winners of different conferences should be given benefit of the doubt and ranked a little higher.

The problem with this thinking is that the NCHA first place team lost to Adrian 4-0 and squeaked past them in OT. This is the same Adrian that got smoked twice by RIT, the third place team you referred to. Not to mention Adrian went 0-4 against two mid-pack ECAC-West teams as well. As it happens I've been ranking LF ahead of RIT consistently, but based on the Adrian connection I would have no problem reversing that ranking if I thought it appropriate.
