Anchorage continues to lead the independents, which they have done all season long. The additional non-conference games over the holiday break have spread out the CCHA schedule strengths. After dominating with the top 9 schedules earlier this year, CCHA teams now have strength of schedules ranging from 1st to 30th. Ferris State dropped 7 spots even though they won twice againt #43 Kent State. The reasons: playing a (very) low-rated opponent, good performances by other top 10 teams, and some lackluster showings by FSU's past opponents (BGSU, MSU, OSU and Notre Dame went 0-8). Dartmouth's first win helped cut the gap to 43rd by over half: from 17.07 to 7.56.
