OHT35 - Week 9
THE OFFICIAL HOLLYWOOD TOP 35: #9

You will see that St. F.X., once getting close to A, have been slipping. They are still a solid B team. Other than Brock, the bottom C+ “bubble†teams did enough to stay put. Lakehead never played and remain on the bubble. The B- has vanished, and C- is added. Moncton has won 3 of 4, and 4 of 6, to vault up from C to C+. The AUS now has no C teams.
One peculiarity is that the CW has 4 of the top 5, and then nothing until 14, 19, 23, and 32. The AUS teams are 1, 6, 9, 16, 20, 21, and 22.
The inter-conference ranking is never easy. The holiday break is often a good time to look at some of the rankings in-depth. Here is a table for the conference records against one another, and outside conferences:

At one level, the CW dominated the OUA. Lakehead has a winning record in the OUA West but were dominated in 4 home games against Lethbridge and Manitoba, the CW's 5th and 6th place teams. Ryerson, the run-away leader in the OUA West, split against UBC, the CW's 7th place team.
However, the OUA did better than usual against both the AUS and the NCAA.
There is also a significant gap between the OUA's East and West divisions. The East has 33 wins, to 23 for the West. So one must ask: Just how good is Ryerson? They are an impressive 11-0-0 against C/D teams but only 2-2-1 against B and C+ teams.
The AUS teams seem to fall right after rising, or rise right after falling. After UNB they have 2 teams in B and 4 in C+. SMU started very slow and have risen steadily. Could they get to their usual position of B (or better)?
One question to be answered in the new year: Should Alberta move down? Or should MRU or Calgary move up?
So Merry Christmas everyone and the OHT35 will be back in the New Year!
