I will also note that >although the person is a sportswriter in HE, he is not affiliated >with the Terriers. Very interesting. Considering Bob's reaction to *MY* "power rating," I am honestly surprised he lets anyone in the ATU use one. I guess he can't stop them from using whatever they want to do their own rankings. I heard once that a sportswriter for UMass-Lowell had his/her own rating system. I wonder if it is the same person. And for those who are curious, The College Hockey Computer Rating also has Maine #4. But Harvard is #1 and Boston University is.....#30. If I call Bob and ask REAL nice, would he let TCHCR vote?? (I'll have TCHCR ready next week, I promise.) Finally, still related to the ATU, rumor is around BG that WMU coach Bill Wilkinson is the mysterious BGSU-backer who put the Falcons in his top 10. No proof, tho--perhaps the-HE-media-with-his-own-power-rating had BG in his top 10. Keith
