Message: [QUOTE="Lax Mouse, post: 5688903, member: 8158"] They've played and lost to three really good teams. They're at the moment clearly not as good as was suspected, but by no means a bad team. I think as Jeremy mentioned they'll have quite the upward trajectory based off the structure of their season. Some injuries and finding out how to arrange new players taking their toll along with the tough schedule. This outcome is bound to happen when all the top teams schedule each other OOC. Someone's going to get the worst of it. Then you'll have teams like Duke (who could be very good but we won't know until April) skating in with an inflated record and high ranking because they've scheduled almost no top programs. But then they might find themselves very rested and well oiled by the time their tougher games roll around, while the other teams could be beat up. The science/art of scheduling. . . [/QUOTE]
