Miami looks a lot better so far compared to last year but has a road series against NoDak and Minnesota-Duluth in a week - those two series are gonna be huge. Losing badly in both puts us in a huge hole for the Pairwise and NCHC standings, getting a couple of wins would really boost our confidence on top of the actual points.
WMU is up to #9 in the USA today poll, and is #11 in the USCHO poll. However, in the all important Pairwise, WMU is #4 which means if the NCAA tournament started today, we'd be a #1 seed. BG is doing well in the pairwise as well coming in at #11 in the most recent rankings.
Huge series this weekend as Miami travels to Kalamazoo to faceoff against WMU. Our Pairwise has improved but it's still only 26, while Western is sitting at 9. It's a big chance for us to really move up and gain some NCHC points but we also risk falling dangerously behind if we lay an egg.

The schedule gets harder, but (if that's even possible) but I don't think we overperformed. We've had some lapses but are still going into the break in a really good position, even after splitting with Miami this past weekend.
