1. Michigan State- Well, they are the defending champs.
2. Miami- Possibly could build on last season's tourney berth.
3. Notre Dame- Jackson's got them on a roll. If they ever get out of the Joyce....
4. Michigan- If there's ever a chance to knock UM out of a bye, this is the year.
5. Ohio State- too talented to go anywhere else. Then again, that's gotten them 10th place before.
6. Western Michigan- Holy crap, we have a goalie.
7. Nebraska-Omaha - I like them more then Ferris State
8. Ferris State- Bleh. Like their goaltending though.
9. Lake Superior State- Going to have to sell me on the post-Jakaitis era
10. Northern Michigan- Rebuilding in Marquette
11. Alaska- Another new coach means another bottom finish
12. Bowling Green- could be as ugly as their uniforms
Get excited if Gill and the defense continue to improve. Freshman and other help make up the ~50% points lost from Letestu & Szchehura
Get worried if Musical goaltending begins again, sweep of Bentley doesn't occur. (Bentley picked 9th in Atlantic Hockey.)
Possible Ceiling- 4th place
Possible Floor- 9th place
Anyone else want to take a shot at it?
