From whatI've heard, the best Michigan can hope for is a 3rd place
finishin the CCHA.. let alone the NCAA rankings. Michigan lost alot of
leadership this past season, and I'm not sure that the new captains can
make up for that. Unless the incoming freshmen step it up (since I have
very little hope in the sophomores and juniors, except for a few),
Michigan I think at best will finish 4th in the CCHA - also if Turco
stands on his head.. Michigan might make the top 10 and finish 2nd or 3rd
in the CCHA. I'm not quite sure how hard hit the other teams in the CCHA
have been hit, especially with Miami losing some players.
