NCAA Power Rankings: April 6

April 6, 2015

The rankings this week had a large amount of self-contained insanity.  Just about every team from last week’s top 5 and last 5 all won, with seemingly everyone in between losing.  This meant that I didn’t drop anyone this week, but there was plenty of shuffling.   Oh, and the Patriot and Ivy Leagues continue to baffle me.     Records and scores are including games from April 5. 1        Maryland        Record:…

April 6, 2015

This past week was exciting on all fronts.  Trade deadling was on Tuesday and a number of teams made some moves to help them in the playoffs this season and the future.  Then we had some huge games on the floor with two more teams clinching playoff spots, and another record being made, but not in a good way.  This week will be just as exciting as things heat up…

NCAA Power Rankings: March 23

March 27, 2015

    And then there was one.   Four teams entered the week unbeaten.  Only Syracuse would avoid a loss.  They also showed that they completely deserve that top ranking by routing Duke 19-7.  Maryland gave North Carolina their first loss behind a stellar defense once again.  Speaking of defense, Notre Dame shut out Ohio State for the second goose egg in Division I this season.   There was a…

Power Rankings: Week 9, Rock n Roll Still Tops

March 3, 2015

What a week!!!   A battle of division leaders went to OT, a battle between the teams who played in the Champion’s Cup was decided again by a goal.  We even had a goalie score a goal.  Calgary loses their fourth one-goal game of the year.  Most of the league is off this week as only two games are slated this weekend.  But beware, the weekend of March 13-15 is sure…

This weekend we have seven games, some teams playing twice.  A lot can change after Valentine’s…
