The Big Ten still only has three teams in the Top-20. Ohio State is the only other Big Ten team receiving votes.

Another big drop in the RPI puts Michigan right on the edge of the tournament cutoff. 15 is not a good spot to be in; we're going to need to put some wins together and get off the bubble.

There is some change in the state of Michigan. Ferris stays near the top and Michigan Tech and Michigan State stay at the bottom; Northern and Western are right in the middle.

Lake Superior State is struggling since their series against Ferris State, going 2-6-0 in their last eight games and falling out of the Top-20.

 

Big Ten Standings

Team Big Ten W L T SO Win% Pts GF-GA Overall W L T Win% GF-GA
Minnesota   5 0 1 0 .917 16 21-12   15 2 3 .825 79-42
Wisconsin   4 2 0 0 .667 12 23-15   13 6 1 .675 71-54
Michigan   2 2 0 0 .500 6 12-15   10 6 2 .611 50-43
Michigan State   0 2 2 2 .250 4 8-11   6 10 3 .395 44-47
Ohio State   1 2 1 0 .375 4 13-13   11 6 1 .639 69-51
Penn State   0 4 0 0 .000 0 8-19   4 12 1 .265 41-67

Our worst case scenario last weekend put us in freefall. With MSU and Wisconsin next on the schedule, Michigan needs to be perfect to avoid falling out of the Big Ten standings.

Ohio State is getting better; enough to challenge for 3rd in the Big Ten. Penn State is not good.

David Wohlberg was named the Offensive Player of the Week by the CCHA, while Alex Guptill was named the Rookie of the Week. What's up with the rest of the CCHA that our players keep winning these things?

I already gave it away, but our nominee is Shawn Hunwick (!?) Am I crazy or is this crazy? I miss having multiple nominees but having a shot at the tourney is much more important and somehow this team still has that shot. Thoughts?
