Notes for 1/31/93: Vermont emereges as the week's big winner gaining five spots with their 13-4 weekend sweep of Princeton and Yale. The Elis on the other hand are the big losers plummeting the same five spots gained by the Cats. Other winners include Northern Michigan and RPI while Minnesota falls three spots to enter the losing column. Recapping CHODR's performance for the previous week we see that the system went an unbelievable 33.5-3.5 in correctly picking the winners. The only games it missed were Vermont's upset of Yale and two games in the two split series in the WCHA. To start things off for the new week, we have the first-round Beanpot action on Monday night: Monday, February 1: Boston College 2.44 vs BOSTON UNIVERSITY 5.03 HARVARD 5.73 vs Northeastern 3.52 Things are really getting back to normal in the ECAC as we have a full slate on Friday night while Harvard and Union, who have already met twice, take Saturday night off. After this weekend, everyone will be on the same page with 14 games played and 8 remaining.
