LOUISIANA MONROE |
The Warhawks are the undisputed unanimous number one team in the land right now. They have 38 off skiers that are "trying" to make their slalom team. Nationals is theirs to lose. |

LOUISIANA LAFAYETTE |
The Ragin Cajuns have had their skiers all over the world this season. Let's see if they have more firepower that we don't know about at Regionals. Their women's team is very very strong. |

FLORIDA SOUTHERN |
The Mocs have the power to jump up to 2nd place, but to do so, they have to ski perfectly. Will they win regionals? That would be a strong statement. |

ALABAMA |
The Crimson Tide have been playing coy all season, never once bringing their full team to a tournament. We caught a glimpse of that men's trick team - WOW. |

WISCONSIN LACROSSE |
The Eagles have gone 3 for 3 this season. How will this young team hold up when going into Midwest Regionals with the target on their back? Can they put it all together for one more weekend? |

ROLLINS |
The Tars came flying out of the gates with 2 tournaments in one weekend, but now will see their first action in 3 weeks. Will the return of Delfina push the Tars into 1st or 2nd in the Mighty East? |

CINCINNATI |
The Bearcats are for real, taking down Purdue 2 weekends in a row. Their combined trick team is one of the best in the nation. |

CLEMSON |
The Tigers had a devastating blow this weekend, losing their number one skier JJ Paulovich. How will the Tigers recover at Regionals? Will they surprise and get into Division 1 Nationals? |

OHIO STATE |
The Buckeyes finally got the full team together this weekend they did not disappoint. If a couple more girls run the course - they could have a Midwest Regional Title in their grasp. |

TEXAS STATE |
The Bobcats were idle this past weekend, but have been consistently better than their state counterparts thus far this season. Can they do it one more time and punch a D1 ticket? |

UC DAVIS |
The Aggies won their second straight in the Midwest - and this time without Mr. Nason. Can they knock off the mighty Sun Devils at Regionals? |

PURDUE |
The Boilermakers fall in the poll, due to a third place finish at the Great Lakes Conference Championship. It is tight in the midwest. If they pick up a girl tricker and girl jumper, they could surprise. |

WISCONSIN MADISON |
The Badgers proved they are for real, and don't want any part of the wildcard tournament with a strong 2nd place finish at Great Plaines Conference. How will they stack up against the Great Lakes? |

ARIZONA STATE |
The Sun Devils continue to fall down the poll as they have yet to compete all year. Will the pressure be too much for the first tournament to be Regionals? |

MISSOURI STATE |
The Fighting Golden Panda Bears took 4th at Great Plaines Conference Championships, but appear to be a full step below the top 5 in the Midwest. Looking like the wildcard tournament for the FGPBs. |

CAL POLY |
The Mustangs make their first appearance in the Top 20 this week coming off a 2nd place finish last week. It appears they are primed for another D1 appearance. |

SAN DIEGO STATE |
The Aztecs are hanging tough in the West, but appear to be a step below the top 3 Sun Devils, Aggies and Mustangs. They will be tough in Division 2 at Nationals. |

GRAND VALLEY STATE |
The Lakers have been consistent all year and have made a terrific statement with being in the top 20 for three straight weeks. Can they make some more national noise by making the Wildcard Tourney? |
