I agree on WMU but I think that Notre Dame will be here to stay.  I believe in Jeff Jackson, pure and simple.  Look what he did both at LSSU and Notre Dame.  Wow  He inherited a strong program at the time at LSSU but Notre Dame was weak.

Miami has 12 seasons above .500 since and including '96-'97 and only 4 seasons below .500.  They have been outstanding.  Miami record

Good point on Jackson.

I guess we have a different definition of "outstanding" when it comes to Miami.  Miami was 171-175-33 (0.495) between 1996 and 2005, with a total of two tournament appearances.  They have been outstanding since 2006: 182-76-29 (0.684) with seven tournament appearances.

I must admit that for whatever reason, I've completely ignored the CCHA this year.  But man, they got five teams in, and a team that didn't win either of their regular season or tournament titles is sitting as the #2 overall NCAA seed.  In fact there are only 3 CCHA teams not to have made the NCAAs in the past three years (Ohio St., Lake St., Bowling Green).  Back in the day, I used to label the CCHA as "Michigan, Michigan St., and a bunch of filler."  That's a conference that has gotten its act together.

Break 'em up!  Oh, wait...
