By Fetch
It’s been awhile, eh? Before you get started reading this, you can take a peek at Fansided’s best posts of 2009. Although none of mine made it, so yeah, just skip it. The power rankings are much more fun to read.
1. Miami (13-2-5) (10-1-3) No Change
Miami didn’t play over the holidays, but I’m not going to punish kids for getting to spend Christmas with their families.
2. Denver (13-5-2) (9-3-2) No Change
So Rhett Rakhshani is good. The Senior had 2 goals in each of the Denver Cup games and was a +5 for the weekend.
3. Yale (8-3-3) (4-1-2) Up 1
The Bulldogs “lost” in the final of the Badger Showdown, but really it was just a shootout, so it was a tie.
4. Wisconsin (12-5-3) (8-3-3) Up 3
Congrats to the Badgers for winning the final Badger Showdown

The Sioux beat Niagara, then tied Notre Dame in the final of the Shillelagh Tournament, though they lost the shootout.
