Heading into the final week of the regular season, the final 4 play-off
spots are still up in the air. Bowling Green is in the thick of it all, with
a chance to finish anywhere from 6th to 9th.
And I think it is safe to say that Ohio State's domination of Lake Superior is
the biggest series upset in the CCHA this year.
