Let's see how things look as of this A.M. Not surprisingly, a few changes are in the offing......
1. UST
2. (tie) GAC, Concordia, & CSB
3. SMU
4. Hamline
5. St. Olaf
6. Carleton
7. Augsburg
8. Bethel
9. Macalester
10. St. Kate's
Tommies remain in the top spot after convincing victories but this upcoming week will be a huge test as they have roadies at Concordia (tonight 1-21) and then down the River in Winona on Wednesday night. The Cobbers, meanwhile, got their act together by claiming not only a road win at Bethel but going into St. Peter and pulling off the upset against the Gusties. A heartbreaker for sure for GAC but they should presumably take care of business this week before another showdown at home with suddenly surging CSB next Saturday. The Blazers just continue to impress me with strong showings on the road this last week and they should also roll before the showdown with GAC next Saturday. As such, I've got a three-way logjam in the second spot for the moment. SMU got a huge scare on Saturday at Augsburg and had to go into an extra session to stave off defeat. This week will be a huge opportunity for the Cardinals as they have favorable road trips at Hamline and St. Kate's that sandwich the big home game Wednesday night with UST. I think that, when you take a look at the top five teams in this conference, it just shows you how incredibly strong the MIAC truly is this year.
