  • USCHO Women's Hockey Posters Poll

    So for a little while now I've been thinking to myself that women's hockey, more than a lot of other sports, has a pretty high percentage of its fan base that knows a hell of a lot about what's going on. What I mean by that is, if you follow women's hockey, chances are you know A LOT about women's hockey, where with other sports there's a better chance that someone might just have a casual interest.

    For this reason I've been kicking around doing some kind of USCHO Posters Poll among everyone on the forum and compiling them to put together our own rankings.

    Ever thought to yourself "This poll is ridiculous, I could do a WAY better job ranking these teams!"? (Looking at you, NoDak fans...) Well now you can!

    Each week, up through Thursday at noon (since I know we all have a life and might not be able to post rankings within 12 hours of the last game being completed), post your top 10 rankings for NCAA D-1 women's hockey. By the end of the day on Thursday I will compile them all and post the weekly rankings. I will probably use the results in my blog from time to time, because who doesn't like a little original content?

    Sound fun? Of course it does.

    My top 10 to follow after I see just how badly BC dismantles Maine this afternoon. Feel free to wait (if you're Eeyore and think Maine is going to win LOL) or just assume a BC victory (like everyone else) and post right away. Compiled week 1 rankings to be posted Thursday afternoon.

            Seconded. And I am on speaking terms with TTT outside of this forum.

                    I can deal with ties when compiling, no problem.

                    Yeah it does seem tough to differentiate a few of these teams.

                          Have not really been following as closely yet as years past, but that will change after this week.

                          Of the top of my head, little analysis:

                          1 - Clarkson
                          2 - Minnesota
                          3 - Wisconsin
                          4 - BC
                          5 - North Dakota
                          6 - UMD
                          7 - Cornell
                          8 - Harvard
                          9 - BU
                          10 - ....Open, too many teams to consider, the line is at nine.

                            1-4 are pretty clear, 5-8 could be in any order really.

                              Particularly since half of 5 - 8 have yet to play.
