Tough games for the 2 and 3 teams this week. Northwest plays UNO at Omaha and North Dakota plays FCS Southern Utah at Cedar City. So I ask which win would be more impressive. The Bearcats winning in Omaha or UND winning on the road against the bottom-dwelling SUU Thunderbirds?

Omaha winning at NWMS would be very impressive. :angry:

UND may have its toughest three-game stretch upcoming:

@ SUU

CWU @ the AL

@ WWU

With the way favorites have been falling, we need to keep our humility and not get overconfident.

I'm not sure why anyone pays attention to Massey ratings.

In the DII Massey, GVSU is currently #11. Sure.

Massey tries to do the same with hockey across divisions.

The final top 10 last year:

1. Manhattanville

2. Minnesota

3. Notre Dame

4. BC

5. Neumann

6. Oswego St.

7. UND

8. St. Norbert

9. Mich St

10. Elmira

Not a DII poll but fun nonetheless...

Massey has UND at #2 (DII) only behind UNO.

#1 - UNO

#2 - UND

#3 - NWMSU

#4 - Valdosta State

#5 - USD

GO SIOUX

Go to the Div2 section and sort by strength of schedule.

Look at the team in the top spots in the list.

GVSU is only #11 in the watered down BCS version of the rankings. The real Masseyrating, which includes Margin of Victory, places GVSU #1 and UND #2. Also, there isn't really any intermingling of DI and DIII in hockey so it isn't really fair to be critical of those ratings. If there were more interdivisional games, I am sure they would be properly ranked.

On Dan Hammers show today, he said UND just got the #1 ranking in the country. Along with NDSU getting the #1 in FCS.

Where is that poll? Any link?

He was talking that the hockey team is ranked #1.

The regional poll hasn't been released yet, but I'm going to guess it will be 1. UNO; 2. UND; 3. GVSU. I don't think GVSU can possibly have a high enough strength of schedule right now to get the number one ranking. Remember, this is supposed to be based almost entirely on a numerical formula, with little to no human element involved.
