Centennial - With a small team, Muhlenberg may have what it takes to win the Centennial and stop Ursinus at five in a row; the conference is usually won with depth rather than stars
Empire - Cortland looks good with solid contributors up and down the lineup with four guys in the NWCA Rankings, not including T. LeBlanc and Barber
Great Lakes - Augsburg continues to roll, while everyone else is playing for second place; Flodeen, Holst, Osborne, Gotreau all in the top 2
Iowa - Wartburg is going for yet another IIAC title as the class of this very tough conference with a downright scary three upperweights and no slouches below
Metropolitan - Ice has another top 10 team at TCNJ, annually the top team in the East; Sarinelli, Branham, and Osgoody hope to keep them there
Midwest - Delaware Valley has steamrolled their competition this year and has a top 5 team right now; we'll see if they can get it done in three months
New England - Rhode Island is on a roll this year with three tournament wins and #1 ranked Mike Bonora
Ohio - Heidelberg won Petrofes and has a legitimate title threat in Joe Pflug and AA candidates at four other weights, at least
Wisconsin - La Crosse is coming off a good win over Luther and has the chance to knock off one of the big 2 if everybody performs in March; Palmer and Chelf are quite the 1-2 punch
