A quick look at the ECAC standings shows that things are not exactly going the way the experts thought they would. Hanging out at the top spot, along with Harvard, are two "rebuilding" teams, Colgate and St. Lawrence, who are both undefeated and who both own a victory over league favorites (Colgate over Harvard and St. Lawrence over RPI). Farther down, we find Clarkson and RPI, two teams who, it was felt, would be in the thick of things the whole way. Both the Golden Knights and the Engineers are off to shaky starts, but then, it *is* still pretty early in the season...
