Okay, I'm just going to take a single example pairing here and wonder how the voters could possibly think Cornell is a better team that North Dakota.  Based on what I saw at Lynah a week ago, NoDak was clearly the better team (which is scary considering how young they are).  Now, of course any ranking is a total order that is going to in some cases violate a higher-ranked team's propensity for losing to a particular lower-ranked team because of style of play, individual matchups, etc., but I'm having a hard time thinking of even a single team that Cornell would have a higher probability of beating than NoDak.  Okay, maybe Wisconsin.

Come on, it's easy to understand. ND was 4, we were 8 after our series. Then they lose twice to number 2 (Denver) and we beat two unranked teams. So we're obviously the better team. ::stupid::(meaning the polls, not you.)

If you want to (over)analyze it, for poll purposes our games against NoDak were essentially a draw. The voters didn't see the games so the Sioux don't get any credit for how well they played or looked. They get a little extra credit for splitting on the road. But other than that it was just two one goal games. As for this past week, any team is going to drop in the rankings if they lose twice at home even if they were playing a top ranked opponent.

I agree with everything you said, but you only give further proof to ::stupid::

You know, my eyes totally glossed over the smiley without reading/recognizing it. I probably wouldn't have responded i I had since I'd previously resisted the urge to respond to Kyle's post.
