Re: 2015-2016 USCHO Posters Poll
I do this only because it is fun:
1-Minnesota, defending national champions are traditionally ranked #1 until they do something to persuade us that they aren't really as good this year as they were last.
2-Harvard, defending national championship runners-up are often ranked #2 until they do something to persuade us that they aren't really as good this year as they were last.
3-Boston College, very good last year, made the final four, some significant losses, some significant returnees, opening weekend sweep over a team from the group of teams that western bias posters say we should all fear.
4-Wisconsin, very good last year, made the final four, opening weekend sweep over a team from what western bias posters (and TTT20) say is a very weak conference.
Really, that's about all I've got. For the rest I really have very little idea.
5-Clarkson, why not?
6-North Dakota, might be good, but #6 in the country?
7-What else do you have out east, because the west is looking a little thin to me after NoDak, maybe Boston University?
8-Quinnipiac maybe?
9-Someone from the CHA, Mercyhurst?
10-I know how to spell Bemidji.
UMD? No. Really not, no.
Ohio State? Maybe. For the purposes of what I am attempting here Lindenwood doesn't really count. Show me something.
Again, what else do you have out east because the west is looking a little thin to me after NoDak. I am hoping that Ohio shows up and I completely do not discount the possibility that Duluth is at least good enough to stay close to Boston College based on ability rather than merely it having been opening weekend when anything can happen, so maybe they are good. But maybe they are not.
What else you got out there in the east? Anyone? Bueller? Anything at all?
