Revising this idea because I'm super-excited now that I have both CSTV and ESPNU and actually get to watch some names.

Michigan and Boston U playing right now and already a terrifically exciting back-and-forth 1st period in one of the greatest atmospheres in all of college sports imo.

North Dakota is #1 in the country and my alma-mater and team I used to do play-by-play for, Miami of Ohio is #2 and already leading Nebraska-Omaha 1-0 tonight.

#4 Colorado College is playing #7 New Hampshire in a fairly big non-conference game.

It's pre-season rankings though and doesn't really mean much. Miami was #2 at one point last year I think as well...and then barely squeaked into the 16 team NCAA tournament at the end of the season partly, I think, to getting a little help in some other games.

Man, I've got to get back up there sometime to attend a game or three.
Just like some people prefer college football or college hoops to the NFL or NBA brand, there are those of us who vastly prefer the excitement of NCAA-Hockey over the NHL.
