        1. WisconSIN - Until someone knocks em off...
        2. Fighting Nurses - They did the best off-season recruiting
        3. Princeton - Scoring won't be the problem...
        4. Toothpaste - Might as well be another ECAC team
        5. bc - Could they be better with the off-season departures?
        6. Northeastern - Will they be more than a one year wonder? Methinks, yes.
        7. UMD - More experienced D and Rooney.
        8. BU - Does this seem too high for BU? Probably.
        9. Cornell - Yes, the ECAC is that good as they get their fourth team in the top ten
        10. Ohio State - Keep losing goalies but they seem to find someone to step up.

        Honorable mention - Minnesota
        At the outset, we could hang with the dude...

                I really like Bilka and Hartmetz coming in as freshmen from Shattuck.

                  I honestly don’t understand how you can be better when you lose two players like Watts and Lonergan? However I do hope for your sake that they are as you are certainly one of the good guys on this site and your support for the team and womens hockey in general is to be commended.

                    Well thank you for that haha... I'm not expecting us to be better but I am hoping that our really good young core can galvanize and give us some hope for the next couple years

                      BC loses other players to graduation, especially Keller, Flanagan, and Newkirk. However, it seemed to be less than the sum of its parts last year, so if a shuffled deck makes things go more smoothly, the drop might not match the drop in talent.

                        I sure hope not, because we lost a ridiculous amount of talent

                              Lots of variety in the Clarkson rankings. Not sure who all they graduated besides Gabel and Sauve and Pozzebon? But Lonergan should ease some of that loss for sure.

                              Hurst and RMU are both bringing in goalies with national program experience which will help each of them. I think RMU’s non conference sched is tough enough and they graduated some key defenders that their record might suffer a bit. Hurst’s schedule is relatively easier this year but still solid, with their biggest non conference challenges on the road (can’t remember them all but Clarkson, Colgate and Cornell on the road will be great tests/opportunities to get ranked if they can also take care of business in conference).

                              I’m curious what you all think Providence will do? Their record improved last year, but they fared worse in conference due to NU and BU having great and good seasons.

                              In that last game of BU’s season BC had their way with them. I’m not knowledgeable about the new roster, but I was initially surprised to see them ranked as much as they are here.

                              Not a top ten, but hopefully not too off topic.
