CM - Keep in mind that STU conference (3-1) has beat conference teams with a combined conference record of 1-11 and CSC (3-1) has won against conference teams with a combined conference record of 2-10.  It might be a bit early to give these teams a top 6 spot.  We will see.

MIAC is down this year?  When was the last time ther wasn't a to 25 in the nation team from the MIAC for a month ? (Don't think ever) As far as why look at the NWC 'It's call defense.  Few teams that lose a game in the 70's can blame it on anything but defense.  CSB is down over 20% in total rebounds from last year (10th out of 11 teams) got to be worth a point or two. Yes your Mel and Bri are having very very good years no one is playing any D in the league thus  far.  CC and GAC lost a lot from last year, but seemed to have found the answer to get it done. It is a team game. If it wasn't MAC and CSC would have had the Player of the year the past few year (Excluding last year MP won it hands down).
