For the Jan 4, poll, how do UWRF and UWS get ranked above Lake Forest? Because they lost to UMass? Get real. UWRF and UWS both have losses or ties to teams they should have beat. Are the pollsters ranking UWRF an UWS based on those teams historical performance instead of reality?

Re: USCHO D3 Rankings
As it relates to this week's rankings, I'd love to know what is running through voters' minds when Elmira is ranked higher than Plattsburgh. No problem with Amherst beind No. 1. Fully agreed. But Elmira beating Amherst who beat Plattsburgh does not equal Elmira beating Plattsburgh nor does it take away two losses to Plattsburgh earlier this season. A three-loss team with two losses against a team that was ranked lower than it when it happened (Platty) and one loss against what was an unranked team at the time (Manhattanville) is better than a one loss team whose loss was to the team that is now No. 1? Strange.
Nice to see Trinity keeping on climbing but hard for me to believe that in a matchup of top 5 teams they would have any chance.

Re: USCHO D3 Rankings
I suspect that the coaches who do this poll just mail it in (e-mail) and high-spot the one or two folks they think have moved up in their minds due to recent performance, and that they don't revisit anyone else who didn't trip or otherwise distinguish themselves. In some ways, it probably is even more bogus than the fan opinion poll where at least the few fans who vote pay attention and are called to account for any strange oversights.Illegitimum non carborundum

Re: USCHO D3 Rankings
I guess I'm half surprised to see Elmira ahead of Plattsburgh. However, considering Elmira winning the Pather/Cardinal Classic and taking 3 point of 4 from RIT (all on the road) in eight days is pretty impressive.
The homer in me thinks the two head-to-head wins by Plattsburgh should count more than they apparently do. Plattsburgh has one loss to the #1 team, while Elmira has a loss to the current #8 (in addition to the two losses to Plattsburgh) and a tie to #4.
Oh well, it's just a January poll.Steve

Re: USCHO D3 Rankings
And how do positions 5-9 (including 2 NCHA teams) get ranked ahead of Lake Forest? Because they lost a fluke game to UMASS or is it just that people are not comfortable seeing Lake Forest doing better than the perennial NCHA powers of UWRF, UWS,and UWSP

Re: USCHO D3 Rankings
As far as the NCHA teams go, RF hasn't played bad against anyone. Including tonight they now have 3 losses. Superior, a ranked team, GAC a western power and Adrian a top 10 team from a season ago who struggled against eastern opponents but is tied for second in the NCHA and in my opinion finishes the season very strong.
Superior meanwhile has lost to Lake Forest so that one is harder to explain away.
Lake Forest went 1-0-1 against Superior, but meanwhile they also went 1-0-1 against Stevens Point. Now I believe Stevens Point is a little down early this year so thats and understandable win. But the also have 2 wins against a bad Finlandia team.
So I think RF higher is ok for now, but LF should be above UWS. Also if LF gets at least 9 of 12 points in the next 3 weeks vs Adrian (2) Marian (4) and EC (3)and RF gets anything less then 7 points during that time Adrian should move ahead of RF.Voice of UWRF Athletics 2007-

Re: USCHO D3 Rankings
I think top 5 will stay the same.
1. Amherst
2. Elmira
3. Plattsburgh
4. RIT
5. Trinity
Then things shake up.
6. Manhattanville
7. River Falls
8. Superior
9. Middlebury
10. Gustavus
This is probably what should happen...in reality Middlebury will probably stay at 7 or move to 6...and the others move down.UWS Ladyjackets
