1. Denver (14-5-3) (10-3-3) No Change
Denver takes on Wisconsin this weekend in a marquee WCHA matchup
2. Miami (15-4-5) (12-1-3) Up 1
Miami gets swept by Robert Morris, then sweeps then CCHA co-leader Ferris State. Sometimes I don’t understand life.
3. Minnesota-Duluth (16-7-1) (12-5-1) Up 6
Quick, take a peek at who leads the WCHA, I’ll wait. Sure they have two games in hand on Denver, but still: Minnesota-Duluth leads the freakin WCHA.
4. Wisconsin (13-6-3) (9-5-2) No Change
By allowing 6 goals to Colorado College on Saturday, Wisconsin dropped to 7th in goals allowed per game.
5. Cornell (9-4-3) (7-2-2) Up 2
According to the Ithaca Journal, 17 Big Red players had flu symptoms this weekend.

Yale is now the nation’s highest scoring offense at 4.35 goals per game
7. Michigan State (15-7-4) (10-4-4) Down 1
Michigan State is 10th in scoring defense, but allowed 9 goals last weekend. Yikes.
8. Boston College (12-6-2) (9-4-2) Up 4
Cam Atkinson loves Hockey East play: He’s 2nd with 10 goals in conference play.
9. North Dakota (12-7-5) (8-7-3) Down 4
I said it yesterday morning, I’ll say it again today: You can’t win a national title with Brad Eidsness in net. Period.
10. Union (13-4-5) (7-0-3) Up 6
Union is the only team in the country unbeaten in conference play.
11. Ferris State (16-6-2) (10-4-2) Down 3
Ferris got swept by Miami, but still are tied for the most wins in the country.
12. Colorado College (13-8-3) (9-6-3) Down 2
Joe Howe has made the most saves of any goalie in WCHA play (489)
13. Bemidji State (15-5-2) (9-1-0) Down 2
Even though they allowed 7 goals this weekend, the Beavs are still 2nd in scoring defense.
14. St. Cloud State (14-7-3) (9-5-2) Newbies
Maybe Dan Dunn should get more starts. He has the 2nd highest save percentage in the WCHA in conference play.
15. New Hampshire (10-7-4) (9-2-3) Newbies
Conference play agrees with Bobby Butler. The Senior has 12 goals in 14 league games.
16. UMass (14-8-0) (9-6-0) Newbies
Not confident with this one. There were about 10 million teams I could have put here.
Dropped Out: Maine, UMass-Lowell, Quinnipiac
Maybe Next Week: Maine, Minnesota, Vermont
