Thanks in part to their impeccable defense, Micheletti ranked Minnesota as the top team. The Gophers are currently 2-0 on the season, and are ranked No. 2 in the nation.

Notre Dame came in Micheltti’s second spot, calling the Irish “one of the best coached teams. they play a very, very disciplined game”. The Irish made it to the final 8 last season before losing in the regional final.

The Gophers and Irish will face competition from Ohio State, who round out the top 3 on Micheletti’s list. According to the analyst, “coach Rohlik knows how to get this team to win.” It would certainly appear the OSU knows how to win, starting off the season 2-0.
