I have a thought.  As much as I really *don't* like BC (all right, the
cat's out of the bag...flame away...), I also don't see where one game,
even a tournament game, should cause them to fall so far out of favor.
I think the last posted Albany Times poll still had one lunatic voting
for them as #1 in the country!  As mike said, I think Maine and BC are
"way out in front" in the east.  The question of BC or Maine, is
something else.  Even though the record shows 2-1, I think anyone who
saw all three games would probably call the series a toss up.  All were
real nailbiters, and the games were all won by the home team. Of course
Maine has beaten Lake *and* Northern Michigan...but I show my colors.
I had better stop now.
