Hey, I finally beat somebody. Michigan Tech, St. Cloud, and Colorado College look to be the overachievers this season. Wisconsin and Duluth are probably the two biggest underachievers, though in Wisconsin's case, I think it's a bit unfair because people(especially the coaches) kept them very high in their predictions, despite all the players that they lost.

not that it really matters, but you gave yourself +1 for UND and it should be even...
The WCH total is added up wrong. It looks like 18 is correct. Although siouxnami is right about North Dakota being an even so I guess it should be 17.
Minnesota and North Dakota lost a lot of players, too. Like Wisconsin, they both brought in and still had plenty of talent. I think you're excusing Wisconsin for underachieving.
I think they can accuse the BADgers or underscoring.
