    The only big outliers to me, as someone who plays with data, are NMU and FSU. To a lesser extent, I'm surprised that BG is better and Tech is this middling.

      I guess the more I look at it, I wasn't that far off if you juggle Tech, Ferris and NMU. My preseason predictions were:
      MSU
      MTU
      BSU
      BGSU
      FSU
      UAF
      LSSU
      UAH
      NMU
      UAA

          A lot of people seem to have forgotten that NMU had the best record in the WCHA after the New Year last season, and at one point had a 9 game unbeaten streak (7-0-2).

            In my world Northern sucks no matter what their W-L record states.

                But they still finished in 8th place and replaced their coaching staff. No one expected nor should they have expected Northern to play as well as they have this season.

                Potulny is going to be a hot name for coaching openings over the next few years.

                  I will say that being in contention for the top spot is a bit of a surprise. But I thought they had a good shot at home ice. My preseason looked like this: MINN St
                  BG
                  Bemidji
                  NMU
                  Tech
                  Ferris
                  UAF
                  UAH
                  UAA
                  LSSU

                    My math didn't forget, but I still had them at league average despite all of that.

                          That made NMU 9-1-0 in their last 10. How many teams in the country are better than 9-1-0 in their last ten?

                            It seems the top 3 are fairly set.

                            NMU would need a good amount of help from Ferris to topple Mankato, which I don't see as that likely. NMU will also have their hands full with MTU next week.

                            BGSU is the most likely mover, IMO. They should close the gap with NMU this weekend and I see them as more likely to gain more points against UAH than NMU will against Tech if we're going to change the status quo.

                              I wish I could disagree, but I can't. The Tech series will be a tough split, given the rivalry, let alone sweep.

                                That's everything that I think that I know about the playoff picture to date.

                                Without putting any math behind it, I think that it'll be
                                1 - Minnesota State (they have games and three-point wins in hand)
                                2 - Northern Michigan (they have three-point wins in hand and, should it come down to it the D tiebreaker)
                                3 - Bowling Green
                                4 - Bemidji State (the games in hand are huge, even if they've been crap these last two weeks)
                                5 - Michigan Tech (can change their fate if they sweep this weekend)
                                6 - Alaska (games in hand, including two against UAA, really help)
                                7 - Alabama-Huntsville (boy do I want to put them in sixth)
                                8 - Ferris State (mainly has to fend off Lake Superior that last weekend)
                                9 - Lake Superior
                                10 - Alaska-Anchorage (whose fans will now call me a troll)
