The top of the Bottom Ten is really starting to sort itself out.  The 
Broncos of Western Michigan are starting to make a case for number two, 
but Union is hanging on at this point.  The bottom half of the Bottom 
Ten is very fluid, with not a lot separating the 6-10 teams and some of 
the honorable mention teams.  Merrimack makes its first appearance of the 
year, having lost six in a row, including games to Brown and Lowell this 
past week.  Niagara also gets honorable mention  on the strength of its 
performances the last 2 weeks against Bottom Ten stalwarts Air Force and 
UNO (Niagara was swept by Air Force and split with UNO).

6. Minn-Duluth (3-14-3, 6-19-3)        A tough call to leave them at number six, considering 
                                       their play versus the Fighting Sioux, but I couldn't find 
                                       anybody else to move up.

7. Air Force (10-13-1)                 Idle.

                                       porous Minnesota defense in two losses.

10.Mass-Amherst (3-11-2, 6-16-2)       Lost a game to Boston College.
   Miami (5-13-4, 7-16-5)              A win and tie against Ferris State drops them.
