Some key loses and ties among higher ranked teams, what are your thoughts?

Obviously you want to go into the playoffs at your peak. Not sure there are many surprises at the Silver level. The top seeded teams in both Gold and Silver continue to be the favorites.

I think 1-7 stay the same, I would move Lindenwood down, possibly to a 7 seed, but St. Thomas and Iowa did nothing to warrant an increase in rankings.

8-10

8) Central Michigan - Although they got murdered in game 1 of this week's series, CMU bounced back to win 6-5 and hold their ground in the top 10.

9) Ferris State - We know their story, got a split with CMU, and are 11-6-2 in their last 19. The win and tie against Mo State puts them ahead of the Ice Bears.

10) Missouri State - Winning out against quality, yet non-ranked opponents keeps them at the 10 spot. I wouldn't move them up in front of FSU or CMU after not recording a win against either team.
----
11)RMC-Maroon - Had their chance and blew it, getting wrecked against a FGCU team who split with Mo State earlier in the year. Too inconsistant, too many bad losses, especially against Loyola, an MACHA Silver Division opponent.

12)Michigan - Didn't do anything to move themselves up

13)Illinois - Sweeping Minnesota gets them to #13, an eye opening year for U of I, just not enough to get in the top 10.

I can't see many changes in the top ten at all. But I hope Mizzou gets some votes in the 11-15 range. They split with Lindenwood, barely got beat at Mo St., split with Illinois, and swept Illinois St. We want as many teams from MACHA to get into the 15 as possible.

Good points about RMC-Maroon. Not only did they lose to Loyola, but BARELY beat Marquette twice, a non-ranked Silver Division team. I think they should drop lower, but other than that I agree with the others.
