Well, as usual it's the most hotly contested, with 7 teams (over half the
league) arguably having a legit chance at the title.
 
As far as consistency goes -- good question.  Clarkson (6-1-1 in last 8),
Princeton 10-2-1 in last 13), and RPI (8-2-1 in last 11) have been on a tear
the last eight weeks, while Colgate, Cornell, St. Lawrence, and Vermont have
been up again, down again.  I'd look for any two of the former and two of
the latter to be locked in a four-way tie atop the ECAC standings (and
probably PWR slots 9 through 12) come late February.
 
Maybe we'll see 5 overtime games at Lake Placid this March...  ;-)
