In the tenth and penultimate release of the ACHA Rankings for the 2019-2020 season, 7 WCCHA teams held pat in the top 20, including 3 currently within Regional spots. Just one weekend remains ahead of the final ACHA Rankings, but it's a big one, with all seven WCCHA teams in the top 20 facing off in the Carla Berg Cup Playoffs (rank change / rating change):

#5 University of St. Thomas  - The Tommies claim the highest ever finish by a WCCHA team and earn a higher seed for the Saturday semifinal round at Regionals.

#10 University of Wisconsin - A 2-1 weekend at the WCCHA Tournament kept Wisconsin in their ranking spot and confirmed a program-first trip to Regionals for the Badgers.

#11 University of Minnesota - The Gophers did just enough to hang on to the #11 spot and tentatively hold a place at Regionals (could be bumped by another league autobid)

#13 UW-Eau Claire (AUTOBID) - With 20-straight wins and the Carla Berg Cup title, the Blugolds qualified via Autobid and currently hold the #12 position for the Friday play-in game.

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

#16 Gustavus Adolphus - A strong debut season in the WCCHA culminating with a trip to the Championship title game saw the Gusties move up one spot in the final rankings.

#17 North Dakota State - The Bison completed a strong showing at the Tournament this past weekend, but fell one spot to their semifinal opponent Gustavus.

#18 Minnesota-Duluth - The Bulldogs took major steps forward this season by qualifying for the WCCHA Tournament and earning a top 20 finish in the Central Region.

Congratulations to the Regional Qualifiers and all WCCHA teams on a fantastic and competitive season!
