Im the bad guy for answering a question?
Ranking mean less than where a team actually finishes the season.
UND hockey being ranked #1 right now means Squat.
Thats the problem some fans seem to have. They go by "name brand." Had UND beat Minnesota instead of NDSU and Minnesota had the same record, accolades, and achivements as the Bison it would have been the Miracle on the Hardwood.
Same with UNI and Minnesota this year...had UND actually beat UNI earlier this year. Fans would have been like thats sorta impressive. Beat the gophers...Wow! And a gazillian posts on that thread even though UNI is rated higher than the gophers.
