UAF is WAY overrated. Minnesota played very poorly yet still managed to take both games in OT. Either that says a lot about Minnesota's pure ability even when playing poorly or it speaks a lot about UAF not being all that great. If Minnesota had been playing a team that was truly #5, they would have been beaten convincingly in those two games.

I might agree with (the other) Anonymous if the games were in Fairbanks. But the games were in Minnesota (following long flights), before almost-sellout crowds... Is UAF better than Minnesota? Probably not. But its hard to make the argument that they're worse.

We'll know better in March...
