Message: [QUOTE="Viet Vet, post: 4847592, member: 8688"] Temery, you nailed it. Expectations, coupled with past performance, influence our perception of the importance of mid-season rankings. I am a UConn hockey season ticketholder. I care greatly about being ranked in the top ten (we aren’t), as it might ultimately get us an NCAA tourney bid, which would be a first. In basketball, because of our past success, my expectation is the Final Four. High mid-season polling is much more important to me in hockey than in basketball, for the simple reason that in one sport we haven’t been there before. [/QUOTE]
