Turmoil? Everyone voted BC#1 (last year NCAA champion) except BC who
couldn't/didn't vote for his own team. (my supposition!)
My guess is that despite UNH and BU fan expectations, they might even
finish lower ... and NU might finish lower. Out on a limb ... I think
Maine and BC should be head and shoulders above the rest of the league
and that overall the league will be weaker this season ... but the
inter-league play will show us for sure.
All-in-all, I like our prospects as well as anyone else's. Of course,
Cathy's probably wondering how Maine could be ranked 2nd in HEA when
they'll soon have a 42-0 record and a 2nd national championship! :-)
