I know that the polls and INCH power rankings mean nothing at this time of year, but hey, what's up with Yale? I'm sure they play a decent game, but tied-for-8th in the PW...and in my estimation, way, way over-rated in the other polls. From my review of their schedule, it seems they've only played 7 TUCs...is that correct? And at some point are they not suppose to be numerically penalized for too few TUCs? It'll all play out on the ice, but I'd hate to see a deserving team have to go home early.
