The comment about Minnesota's depth is laughable because UMD exposed their lack of depth with the sweep and the roster Minnesota was forced to use due to injuries.

    Sorry that sweeping good teams on the road like Ferris and Bemidji aren't good enough, and spanking a decent and VERY young Michigan team doesn't count either. Looking forward to this weekend.
    The season is young that there are many directions you can go. I'm not questioning my own premises, I'm simply saying I can see what other people are talking about. I chose my direction cause I believe tech has played a weaker schedule than the other top 10 teams

      Just checked again and they are down to 572 for Friday and 641 for Saturday. I know they had a pretty good deal going on a family pack of tickets, probably to try and offset that this is the beginning of Thanksgiving break.

        BigAl:

        So, you just ignore the fact that Tech actually has the 4th most difficult schedule in the country, according to RPI?

        Or do you not bother yourself with facts?

          I say deserving because Michigan Tech is absolutely deserving of USCHO's #1. My poll isn't based as much on wins and losses as USCHO's. Just my personal opinion
          Well then Tech is deserving by your own criteria both Ferris & Michigan were ranked in the top 20 when we played them. I know they aren't ranked now but if both of them had swept Tech they would both be solidly in the top 20 Michigan would be 6-3 with two of its losses on the road to Ferris & BU and Ferris would be 8-3 with all of its losses on the road.

            Except that Tech has #4 SoS according to USCHO as well. Higher than NoDak (10) and BU (15). If you want to save face and rank Minnesota ahead of us because they have the #1 SoS, fine, except you would be hard pressed to do so given their recent effort. So again, I'm really trying to understand your logic, but finding it difficult to follow.

                  That, and (especially considering it's Tech), Tech has done what a good team should do: beat weaker opponents. It's science.

                    Because your "completely subjective how I feel" stregth of schedule method is much more accurate.

                        So then it's based on past seasons history, bias about "weaker" conferences, "Eastern biases", "Powerhouse programs" biases and everything else that has nothing to do with the actual landscape currently. Oh, I know, how many more NCAA tournament teams are we supposed to beat this year before we get rid of the "prove it" moniker? Guess you want to wait until Mankato, UMD and the GLI (wait, no credit for that), Wisconsin....(nope, no credit for that).......hmmmm.......

                        Ah, now I get it......means nothing, like your logic and your poles.

                          1976 is correct. From December 1975-March 1976, Tech was No. 1 for all but one week in the WMPL poll.

                          The closest Tech had come until yesterday was in October 1980 and October 1984 when they were ranked No. 2 in the WMPL.

                          In 1977-78, they had been in and out of the top 4 and finished the regular season ranked 4th. In 1980-81, Tech finished the regular season ranked No. 3.

                              Michigan Tech hasn't played any good teams yet, because every team they've played has gotten swept by Michigan Tech.
                              Huskies are very intelligent and trainable. Huskies make an excellent jogging companion, as long as it is not too hot. Grooming is minimal; bathing is normally unnecessary.

                                I was actually thinking about this going to work today, my guess out of the blue was 1972.
