Preseason Power Rankings: Previewing teams ranked No. 16-13
In-depth looks at UMass, Boston College, Arizona State, and Denver, plus teams trending and inter-conference records
Today’s issue (#597) opens with three more team previews from my preseason power rankings — the programs I have slotted No. 16 through No. 13: Boston College, Arizona State, UMass, and Denver.
A quick reminder — even though the season is underway, these pieces are part of my preseason rankings series. The data and evaluations were finalized in early September, and I haven’t altered a single ranking since. What you’re reading now reflects exactly how I projected things before the first puck drop.
Also in this issue:
A deep dive into inter-conference results through the season’s opening three weeks — and whether Hockey East should be worried.
A look at teams trending up and those sliding in the wrong direction as the national picture begins to take shape.
