I'm talking 2014 only. Florida would lose to Nebraska and Wisconsin. Wisconsin would win by 20+.

I watched the BU game and while BC still has high-end talent, BU skated circles around them at times. Demko looked like a freshman out there in the 3rd period too. BU took the game over, something I did not expect at BC's nest.

Missouri...lost to Indiana. At home. One of the two likely teams in the SEC title game. Lost. To Indiana. Indiana. SEC dominance?

After a rough start, RPI is 4-2 over their last 6 games, including a sweep over the defending NCAA champions.

RPI at UConn and Harvard at Dartmouth tonight...UConn has surprised me - they have a W over BC and a tie with BU on their resumé already this season.

And Georgia gave Mizzou an epic beat-down in Columbia! How on earth did the Bulldogs lose to South Carolina and Florida? FLORIDA!

There is NO WAY that Arkansas beats half of the Big 10!

Great discussion on the SEC and FBS football...you know, there's a thread for that somewhere! Try NCAA news and the FBS.

Yes, as worn in 1998-2000 by UMD. Mike Sertich was pretty bitter about UMD playing second fiddle to the M at the end of his tenure and it showed.

4th place HE finisher Northeastern made the tournament with a 19-12-7 record over the WCHA regular season champions. Groan...

Great post! Helped it out a bit by adding the pics...completely agree on the UMD jerseys. The old UMD shoulder patch seemed clunky by itself. The famous bridge adds some character. Almost made my top five just on that simple change. As for St Cloud, I disagree. The St C on the front and the interlocking SC on the shoulders just don't go well together. I think this would look great on either the crest or the shoulders for a better look... As for the Sioux jerseys, you are 100% spot-on. Old school front + trendy pit stains = not a good look.

23-11-5...MacNaughton Cup champions...not among the 12 teams selected for the NCAA tournament...an abomination!

As a Tech alum, I'm sure Jamie's heart was in the right place, but the results were most certainly not there. He did have his own fan club though... http://firejamierussell.blogspot.com/?m=1

I have no clue what the powers-that-be were thinking when WMU was put on the table to join the NCHC. Andy Murray as coach and what else, exactly? BGSU has more history, more loyal fans, and a bigger rink. I'd have taken a second school in Ohio any day over WMU. Hell, I'd take Ferris State over WMU too.

You are absolutely dreaming if you think a white-centric name like "Fighting Norse" will even be remotely considered by do-good academia nuts involved in this whole sham of a process. I, for one, will be absolutely astounded if the nickname isn't something abstract like Storm, Pride, Spirit, or, worst of all, SunDogs.

Maine did indeed get rid of the Reebok on the front of their jerseys this year, Ray77...they're now with Warrior. Compare the 2013-2014 Reebok jersey above with the 2014-2015 jersey below... As you can see, the "Maine" script has been returned to normal. Maine stays in the top five.

Throwbacks or one-game only jerseys not allowed in the discussion. Regular home whites only.

UPDATE: I have confirmed that the problem I identified above with Maine's home jerseys has been corrected for this season. Stay tuned for pic.

I clicked "post" by accident before I'd found acceptable pics for my remaining two jerseys. Maine is losing some points with me...Reebok has also toyed with the script "Maine" - it is missing the light blue outline that exists on the shoulder and back numbers as well as the A in the alternate captain's jersey. Check out the female fan in the right on the picture - THAT'S how the front of the jersey should look. Any other opinions out there from jersey fans?

With the loss of the classic Sioux-head jerseys, college hockey has undergone a major shake-up in terms of best jersey. Here's my top five home whites for 2014 (in no particular order): Boston U's former throwback alternate - now turned regular jersey. Simple. Classic. Maine Black Bears. I love the two different shades of blue and the simple "Maine" script on the front. Lake Superior State Lakers. The anchor. Union College. This pic really doesn't do this jersey justice - the maroon and black look great and the roundel logo is a nice touch. Michigan Tech. They've long had an identity crisis and finally went back to what works - old school.

Ha! I suppose I had that coming, didn't I? Not from the UP originally, but have had the good fortune of seeing games at Lake Superior State, Northern Michigan, and Michigan Tech. Got to see the bell-ringing tradition at LSSU, meet the Puckheads from NMU, and chat with many good fans at MTU. I went to school at UND from '88 to '92 and the Huskies were by then, the league doormat. After doing some research on college hockey and traditions, I became kind of fond of the Huskies. In 1994, they made a magical run from the worst-finishing team in the league all the way to the WCHA playoff championship game. The fans there are awesome and have waited - and HOPED - for a long, long time for their program to turn around. I'd imagine John MacInnes is smiling somewhere as the arena that bears his name will surely be rockin' at its next home game. GO YOOPERS!

Gordie Howe is reported to be deteriorating quickly...

Update: Muschamp will coach Florida's two remaining games.
