Umm Ohio State is currently a spot ahead of Mankato in the PWR but you claim they're not close to Mankato as a program? Nice logic. This is a perfect example of UND fans underrating the Big Ten. OSU is actually very solid this year.

The Gophers, UW, and Michigan are elite. Michigan State has multiple national titles themselves and Penn State has everything in place to be a good program. The Big Ten is not and will never be the disaster that UND fans so badly want it to be.

Yes. They shouldn't be, the big ten conference (as a whole) is ranked way too high due to MN being so good this year. OSU has beat UMD and Wisconsin...that's it. Their schedule is a joke. They have no decent players.

8-13-4 (Big 10)

14-25-3 (CCHA)

19-16-4 (CCHA)

15-19-4 (CCHA)

19-13-6 (CCHA)

10-23-5 (CCHA)

Yea, the Spartans really lit up the CCHA in the five seasons leading up to this year's Big 10 move...

Multiple national titles? Yea, Michigan Tech and Lake Superior State have a bundle of them themselves...how are their programs doing lately?

Ryan Dzingle is elite and will be a top ten Hobey finalist and deserves to be. And you say Ohio State's schedule is a joke? The Big Ten schedule is a LOT harder than the current WCHA pal. Unbelievably bad post. :silly:

You're kidding me, right?

Ohio State's 14 wins this year include:

2 against Robert Morris

2 against Niagara

2 against Canisius College

2 against Mercyhurst

Seriously, Ohio State should consider raising an Atlantic Hockey Conference Champions banner next fall inside Value City Arena!

Their other 6 wins are against Bowling Green, UMD, Michigan State, Wisconsin, and Penn State (2). Please tell me you don't think that THAT résumé makes Ohio State NCAA tournament-selection material.

I never said they would make the tourney. But they were being compared to Mankato by Scpa as if Mankato plays a tough schedule. He argued that OSU wasn't near the level of Mankato. And OSU played the Gophers very tough a few weeks ago, two close games. If you think OSU is bad or is an easy win you're nuts.

Perhaps not. Perhaps. Pig Ten hockey is, however, painful to watch, especially on television. Dolts for color. Dolts for play-by-play. Dolts in the studio. Besides, who in the hell is arrogant enough to think that college hockey games oughta be played on a Thursday night? And sappy enough to make their players shake hands after every game? Cripes.

Any team playing 8 games non-conference games against Atlantic Hockey teams doesn't have much of a defense to the 'strength of schedule' argument. OK, so OSU did play Minnesota tough two weeks ago, what does that prove?

Ferris State was tough in the CCHA the last couple of seasons. Because they have a different conference logo on their jerseys now means they suck?

It's not as bad as it sounds, NDH. Originally, Jim Delany wanted the team captains to hug and exchange flower bouquets after every game but the athletic directors voted down that idea.

Should we award tOSU Buckeyes the AHA championship then? :)

The 2008-09 season at 24-15-4 is our WORST record in over a decade and we haven't missed the NCAA tournament since 2002 (and that is the only early finish since 1996).

With the talent that Miami has, I didn't think they could look as bad as they have so far against WMU.

maybe this is a confirmation as to just how weak the ccha has been over the years and they just beat up on the weaklings as we all know their tournamnet history when they get there and the nchc isn't filled with ccha cupcakes.

Ferris State had a heckofa team that gave BC all it could handle in the title game just a couple of years ago...and Miami would be the home of a national champion if it wasn't for that epic collapse against BU a few years prior to that.

and the buffalo bills would have won two super bowls if scott norwood would have made a field goal and thurman thomas could find his helmet. bottom line is they didn't.
