Reading Mike's post about Denver being in the top two or three next year made me wonder if the WCHA is going to have the same problem that it had last year, i.e. being too top-heavy. Last season, both CC and UM proved that they were the two best teams in the league. While their battle for the number one spot proved to be exciting, it seemed to take all of the other teams in the league out of the spotlight for a shot at a national playoff birth. I guess I would like to hear some comments on whether or not the WCHA has a good chance of having 3 or 4 teams make it to the post-season. Right now, CC and UM are the obvious favorites to make it. What about DU, UW, St. Cloud or UMD? I agree with Mike that DU should should be in the top three, I just wonder if the gap between second and third will be so large, that the committee sees it as a weakness of the league. Charles P.S. Here is my top five (take this for what it is worth!): 1. CC 2. UM 3. DU 4. UW 5.
