Notes:

Monday's 6-0 Albany Academy win over then #14 Berkshire knocked the Bears out of the Top 16, directly affecting teams that had played them. To put a fine point on it, Teams Under Consideration with wins over Berkshire had them 'taken away.' Tabor, Nobles, Avon, and Salisbury were thus all negatively affected, in some cases dramatically so. Instantaneously, Salisbury dropped from 2 to 5, Nobles went from 8 to 10, and Tabor went from 9 to 12. Teams with losses to Berkshire -- Brunswick, Loomis, and Gunnery (2 losses) were given a boost in the rankings: Gunnery stayed pretty much the same, but Loomis went up from 6 to 4, and Brunswick went from 10 to 9.

All that was prior to yesterday, when the deck got shuffled again. Right now, Berkshire will have to jump over Thayer and Brooks to get back in the group of 16 (the TUCs). As the gods of scheduling would have it, Berkshire, Westminster, and Gunnery are their own group, with all three playing each other in impactful games down the stretch. If Gunnery loses one or two games there is a chance they could get bumped from the Elite 8. Brunswick and Gunnery meet on Sunday in  a game that's extremely important for both teams. Avon at Salisbury (Sat.) is another key game, particularly for Salisbury's efforts to secure home ice for the quarterfinals. And let's not forget Saturday's KUA @ Cushing game, an especially big game for the Penguins.

Right now, the Top 5 JSPR teams -- Avon, Exeter, KUA, Salisbury, and Milton -- appear to be Elite 8 locks, and are playing for position. Loomis has the inside track on the #6 spot. It looks like the last two Elite 8 spots could be a dogfight.

If Thayer or Berkshire -- #17 and #18 in RPI right now -- move back into the JSPR rankings, things could change in myriad ways.

Stay tuned.
