I would agree with all your choices except for one.I think UNH will be the most likely to fade over the remainder of the season,and that YSU could very well win the Gateway.

Hard to argue WKU....they are my #2 behind Cal-Poly, or else it woudl have been them as well in my nominee list.


This is tough, and I think we will all vote the games we know or see.....still interesting to see the comments.

How do you figure on UNH - I'll agree, they may not be as good as they've been made out to be, but they've got an easy schedule to finish: they have only 2 games on the road they should split at the worst (UMass and Hofstra) and they have 4 easy home games (URI, Northeastern, Iona, and Maine). At the worst they should be 9-2.

I think they will come out on the short end against URI,UMass,Hofstra,and possibly Maine.

In any other year, the Story of the Year would be the amazing amount of "upsets" that are happening every week...
