In the eight release of the ACHA Rankings for the 2019-2020 season, 8 WCCHA teams remain in the top 20, including 3 currently within Regional spots. Just three weeks remain in the ACHA regular season, heightening the drive for qualification in the run in. Here are how WCCHA fared in the final top 20 of 2019 (rank change / rating change):

#4 University of St. Thomas (NO CHANGE) - The Tommies, still idle from first semester, held pat despite some movement in front. 

#10 University of Wisconsin (-2) - 3 of 4 points this past weekend against Winona State was not enough to hold their spot as the Badgers dropped 2 spots in a tight race

#11 University of Minnesota (NO CHANGE) - Despite two wins over previous #13 Minnesota-Duluth, the Gophers remain at #11 - a precarious position with autobids possible down the road

----- ------- ------ ------- ------- --- -----

#13 Gustavus Adolphus (+2) - The Gusties have been on a tear to start second semester, including a strong series sweep over Mankato to claim a WCCHA Tournament spot

#14 Minnesota-Duluth (-1) - A competitive sweep at the hands of Minnesota saw the Bulldogs drop just one position, well within striking distance of a Regionals place

#17 UW-Eau Claire (+1) - The Blugolds, who open 2nd semester this coming weekend, move up one spot.

#18 North Dakota State (+2) - Unexpected idle last weekend, the Bison still rose 2 more spots with a road series upcoming.

#19 University of North Dakota (-1) - A lone loss to Jamestown dropped the Fighting Hawks one position.

Although at the time of this writing, the detailed ranking report has not yet been posted, it appears win percentage was restored to it full weight this week. With under a month remaining before the final rankings, expect the next few weeks to be filled with fireworks as WCCHA teams battle for Regional positioning.
