The Boston University Terriers men's hockey team (7-3-3-1) split a home-and-away series with UConn last weekend and fell from No. 4 in the USCHO ranking to No. 5. The Michigan teams (the Spartans, the Wolverines, and the Western Michigan Broncos) are 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and Penn State is the new No. 4. The Terriers are 1-1-0 in Hockey East play and in second place in the conference standings. They have two road games against No. 12 Maine this weekend.
The No. 15 women's team finally won their first game of the season, a 4-2 victory over New Hampshire, and fell off the rankings. Go figure. They go 0-5 and remain in the top 15. They improve to 1-5-0 and are now unranked (although they did receive five votes in the poll). The women have a home-and-away this weekend with No. 12 Northeastern (4-2-0), and a pair of wins should definitely improve the Terrier's rankings. At 1-0-0 in Hockey East play, the women are in second place.
Both the men and the women are No. 2 in their conference standings and are both playing Hockey East opponents ranked No. 12 in the national polls. What do you think are the odds of that?
