1. Miami
2. Wisconsin
3. Denver
4. North Dakota 3 We mentioned it in this space last week, but it bears repeating: the Fighting Sioux have eight losses this season and all but one of them have been by one goal. The latest was a 1-0 loss at Cornell Friday, but NoDak salvaged the non-conference series with a 3-1 win Saturday. 13-8-5 (8-7-3 WCHA) LAST WEEK: L at Cornell, 1-0; W at Cornell, 3-1. THIS WEEK: vs. Denver, vs. Denver

I know the pairwise isn't perfect, but it is a lot closer than these rankings. How Yale doesn't move but Colorado College drops a spot when they both pretty much split their weekend games is beyond me. Plus Anchorage is a lot tougher place to play than St. Lawrence. Duluth loses six spots! Give me a break. Not to hate on the Sioux but 4th, really? I think most Sioux fans would agree that is too high. And I think Wisconsin is better than Miami too.

That's probably my top ten.
I don't have a problem with you top ten... Sounds reasonable.
