# indicates tie game included
Note that there is a second row beneath each team to show their pre-season records against each level of opponent. Not included were the games against NHL or European teams. The ACAC teams are either C or D level.
The funny thing so far is the lack of teams that have really impressed with a hot pre-season and early season. The only A teams all have an A-, meaning that they could easily be demoted. There is very little to choose between the A- and B+ teams.
In the CW, I am not sold on MRU but the ranking is results-based, hence no argument. In fact, a case could be made that they are the only team worthy of a position in the A level. Alberta is 4-4-0 in games not involving Lethbridge and Regina, and have yet to face any of last season's top 5 CW teams. Calgary looked incredible in the series against Manitoba but were swept by MRU. Arguably, those three A teams have really done no better than Manitoba and Sask. UBC may be only 2-2-2, but they have yet to play Regina or Lethbridge. There would be some major shockwaves across the country if Alberta was to fall into 6th place.
It is harder than usual to rate the AUS. First, they started late and, in fact, have only played 3 regular season games thus far. They had no interlocking games with the CW, and went 2-5-1 against the OUA. Now, if UPEI looked like they were going to be a cellar-dweller then this record could be overlooked. But they took UNB to OT. Basically, Acadia and UNB are in A level for the same reason as Alberta and Calgary. With UPEI, STU, and Dalhousie in the C level, the AUS has a downward skew for probably the first time since these ratings started.
The wins for the OUA against the AUS were registered by teams from the OUA East (Carleton, Queen's, McGill, and UQTR). The OUA West went 0-5-0 against the CW. Lakehead, Guelph, and Toronto all exit the B level. I don't believe that Lakehead has previously been a C level team. UQTR is very close to a promotion to A level. In the end, I kept them at B+ because their highlight result so far is a 6-4 win over Carleton, a team with a wobbly start.
One final word: In the early season one good or bad weekend could greatly alter a team's outlook.
