Even Competition

[PuckU126]

How does everyone feel about how this year is panning out? Especially in class AA, all of the top teams have at least 2 losses thus far in the season (not too common). I do enjoy knowing that any team can fall whenever (sign of even competition), but I will admit I do like it when a team has the chance to go undefeated. Should be interesting to see the section (certain ones) and state seeding.

I think Minneapolis only has one loss.

And I know Bemdiji only has one loss.

But you said top teams and I am sure you do not think either of these are top teams.

I agree, just look at the rankings. No one is a clear favorite. Should make things very interesting come March!
In the PS2 and Karl's rankings, 7 of the 8 AA sections have a team in the top 12.
In LPH, 7 of the 8 sections have at least 2 teams in the top 17.

You're right. I am not bashing those teams, but they are doing well in their schedules.

Isn't Bemidji sitting with one loss overll right now? I know they arent considered in the top 5 by these rankings, but when hasnt section 8AA schools come down here with a competitive team. If this were the Rams with this record, they would be in the top five for sure. I think this Bemidji team is for real. I hope they get to represent 8AA and make some real noise come tourney time.

I agree; however, their schedule isn't as difficult as the top teams in AA and some of their games they just squeeze past. They are the lead contenders for a #1 seed in 8AA but we shall see in the month to come.
