Dammit anyways. #4 Denver -- Nope. #3 Boston University -- See above. #2 Michigan -- I'm a little nervous about this happening. #1 Air Force Academy -- Those blue uniforms! Dilly dilly. This has not gone as well as I'd hoped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John W. Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Do some of you bother to read words....or just jump to your 'feelings'....3 BIG teams still alive...MI, OSU and Notre Dame....2 NCHC...Denver and UMD....that's all I said.... So if MI is still alive in tourney. I'd consider that elite... I hope UMD wins it all...mainly local talent...UND should pull for them also as Sandelin formerly on staff...

You asked which is the better conference after mentioning in the same sentence how many teams were still alive in the respective conferences. I merely pointed out the flaw in your logic. Maybe you're unaware OSU and MI have only played one round thus far. Don't get too butthurt, Professsor. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDMOORHEAD Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 2 minutes ago, Roosevelt83 said: Part of that is based on the fact that 5 of their 8 teams failed to qualify for the tournament in the first place, compared to only 3 out of 7 from the Big Ten who failed to qualify. So there is that part, which just adds to the Big Ten's superiority over the vastly overrated yet still obnoxiously arrogant NCHC. Counting UMD and Notre Dame this year the NCHC has 8 frozen four appearances and 2 titles. The BIG has 2 frozen four appearances and 0 titles. As it stands right now the NCHC has been the better conference. It may not always be that way, but the BIG has nothing to brag about right now.

Sticking to the current season and the current season only, there should be absolutely no doubt whatsoever in anybody's mind that the Big ten has been the more successful conference. I trust some stubborn NCHC fans will refuse to admit it, but it is very clear in the eyes of any person with an objective mind. This season isn't over yet. What if BU and DU win today, BU beats Notre Dame and UMD or DU win the title? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FFS the point has always been about best conference TOP to BOTTOM, not the better top tier teams. This is the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it fair to suggest, based on the current season, that Denver makes the NCHC better in terms of top tier teams while the Big Ten has been stronger overall top to bottom?

No. The bottom of the nchc is better than the bottom of the b1g. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MafiaMan Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 My new ranking: #4. UMD -- no effing way. #3. Michigan -- that title thing. #2. Notre Dame -- still yuck. #1. Ohio State -- an NCAA hockey title by the Buckeyes will be forgotten by the time the football team takes the field for spring practice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio State-Would be their first.....university still won’t care. 1. Notre Dame-Always loved Irish football, would love to see Jeff Jackson win another.

hky Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 4. UMD I just can't. Pionk. Wolf. And the constant complaining when they get called for it. 3. Michigan Too many titles already. 2011. And that song. 2. Notre Dame Of the 3 BIGs they didn't impress me this weekend. 1. Ohio State I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
