Miami (Ohio) 19-7-0 24 4 Lemme see if I get this straight.. the Miami redskins roll along the entire season.. scooting to the top of the ccha and playing well.. and are ranked number 4 in this pole a week ago. Now, last weekend Lake Superior defeats Miami for the first time this season following a 2 game sweep by the redskins earlier in the year... then lose a close game to Ferris State, who were obviously hungry for a victory (They manage to eek out a 6-4 victory.. but it's a one goal game in my books.. empty net goals count.. but not for much) Does Miami really deserve to drop from the number 4 spot all the way to number 10? I find it funny to see Clakson and Lake superior ahead of Miami considering Miami defeated Clarson quite soundly (3-0) at the Mariucci Classic and also considering their sweep of the lakers earilier in the year. Yes, they deserve to drop in the poles, but deserve far better than the number 10 spot. I am almost even more surprised to see Michigan state ranked so high.. if I do recall.. the redskins lost a very, very close game earlier in the year and are ahead of them in the ccha standings. Anyways, this coming weekend will be a true test of Miami, they will be primed to play well against obivously the best team in the nation.. I can see 2 hard fought games.. with each team collecting a victory. Miami's defence and goaltending will give the high-flying wolverines something to think about. 2 lop-sided victories by michigan this weekend would be a good reason to see Miami drop in the poles.. but if they manage to play well both games and escape with at least one victory (which i am predicting they will) alot of people will be putting their proverbial foot in their mouth (Aren't teams allowed to have an off weekend?) and we'll see Miami get vaulted in the poles.. surely into the top 5.
