    There aren't 4 serious contenders this year, just the 2.

      Goaltending may very well prove to be the key difference between these two, in terms of where they finish in the standings. Sauve meant so much to OSU defensively, and will be missed. For UMD the returning Rooney is an Olympian, and you can expect her to show why.

      Overall it should be a good battle for 3rd in the league, but I give UMD a slight edge.

        I am pretty surprised to see Minnesota above BC but they're right at the same level. To me you can throw a blanket over the top 3 and put Minnesota right with them in 4th.

        From there who the eff knows after that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

          For both BC and UM, the unknown is goaltending. If either gets strong play in net, that team could be scary good. Clarkson is the most proven, but Sauve has had injury-hampered seasons in the past. Wisconsin is more known, but I don't think Campbell can match Sauve if both are at their best.

          Potential and proven are two different things, but Minnesota's forwards could be as good as they've ever had. The D is young, but very talented. We'll find out starting Sunday...

            Some simple questions regarding Minnesota vs bc...

            Does Minnesota have Megan Keller?
            Does Minnesota have the skating jesus?

            Here is one USCHO poster's idea of what the preseason poll should look like

            1. Clarkson - The fighting nurses will tuck you in and turn out the lights on you so fast your head will spin.
            2. bc - High octane eagles over/under for double digit goals scored sits at 7. They will light the lamp...A lot.
            3. WisconSIN - BADgers fourth line could be your team's first line.
            4. Colgate - Their aim is to ride the crest of last seasons success to a national title.
            5. Minnesota - Got lots of forwards...Wonder if any of them can play defense?
            6. Ohio State - The difference between 6 and 7 probably come down to Rooney but for now OSU the edge
            7. UMD - Rooney is good enough to overcome some of the other question marks this team has.
            8. Northeastern - Evidently, their recruit Alina Muller is the 4th best player under the age of 25 in women's hockey...According to the Ice Garden.
            9. Cornell - I feel like the ECAC is probably going to be the best league again so these last couple of spots will probably move up.
            10. St. Lawrence - See number 9.
            At the outset, we could hang with the dude...

              Clarkson returns 355 pts, 144 goals. BC must return 755 pts and 322 goals with that Whats player coming back.

                I know this is in no way indicative of if a team will win a National Championship but does anyone know off hand if a freshman goalie has won a National Championship? Maybe Rigsby?

                  Rigsby did. Vetter did. Harss wasn't techinically a freshman, but she was in her first season. Sautter might have been the same deal.

                          Definitely sell on Northeastern.

                            Same thing as if you bet on Minnesota -7 in a football game and they win by exactly 7. It's a push. Should you have bet on Minnesota or their opponent? Doesn't matter.

                                Selling UW due to Kepler being gone, haha. UW loses Kepler, but gains Pankowski, Clark, Curl and Shirley. That's a plus 50 goals right there.
