I wouldn't call the ECAC teams 'mediocre', but I would say they are quite inconsistent. It is highly competitive this year, Princeton, Cornell, Colgate, SLU, Clarkson, and RPI have all recieved votes for the USA Today polls at some point this year. That means that half the conference has had some national recognition. I think that the ECAC playoffs could be the most anticipated this year, and we could see some surprises in the NCAA's.
