Week of December 17, 2009

Wow!  Where did the week go?  While I advised you last week that there were no top ten matchups, I failed to advise you all that two teams then ranked #3 and #11 would play a pair.  And last weekend saw the resurgence of Wisconsin, as they tied and beat North Dakota.  Wisconsin rose from the #11 spot to #7 as a result, and North Dakota dropped from #3 to #6.  Elsewhere, #1 Miami swept Ohio State to retain tighten its grasp on the top spot, taking 48 of the 50 first place votes in this week’s poll.  Denver held on at #2 after splitting a pair with Minnesota-Duluth, and Colorado College jumped from #6 to #3 after a tie and a win against St. Cloud State.  And Bemidji State, the favorite two words at the Notre Dame hockey arena, dropped from #4 to #10 after getting swept by Mankato.

This weekend not only are there no top ten matchups, but there are only a total of five hockey games being played.

This provides the top ten teams, rankings, records, and last week’s results:

That’s it for this week, a rather short report.  Stay tuned, and go Teriers!
