Road to #1: Sunday Very Small Wrap-Up
Ok, lets do this quickly before more rankings show up tomorrow:
Hockey:
#11 Michigan in the GLI. First night, we handily beat Michigan Tech, in a good game for the defense. Hogan records a shutout, but, I was there, and there were very few shots that caused us Michigan fans to go “oooh!” after good saves. Michigan State beats North Dakota in a stunner, setting up this year’s third Michigan/Michigan State match. Next night, in front of a slightly pro-Michigan crowd, we destroyed Little Brother 5-1. Game was awesome, I was thrilled to be there. Louie for Hobey! Two more for the season sweep. #9 Cornell plays in the Florida College Classic. Beat St. Cloud State night 1, Colgate beats Maine, setting up a Sunday night match. In which I can’t figure out exactly what happened. The Live Stats site says 2-2 at the end of 5 minutes of overtime, and I can’t imagine a tourney can end in a tie. And I want to post this. Hockey’s holiday break sort of ends next week. We don’t play, but, more teams play than have played all at once in some time.Basketball:
Everything goes according to plan, except a BYU game that wasn’t played. Monday night, #24/NR Michigan beat Florida Gulf Coast (although, apparently we were fairly lethargic about it), then take Christmas off. Here’s a list of the rest of the games (Ranks: Media/Coaches’):Monday:

Wouldn't Ohio State getting blown out by an unranked West Virginia help us in the polls?
Thanks for the posts man, keep 'em coming.

Chances are they're too highly ranked to really make a difference on our rank. I guess technically they could fall out and everyone might get bumped up, but, I think its also reasonable (based on how they voted for Minnesota last week) that, any bump we get is decreased by voters suddenly putting West Virginia in the top 20.

Cornell won in a shootout. It goes in the record books as a tie though, so it doesn't matter from our perspective.
