OHL Coaches Poll - My Predictions

If you remember, last year Ryan Yessie, Sean Keogh, and myself had a contest to see which of us could most accurately predict the results of the 2009 OHL coaches poll. The results of this contest can be found here.

Well it's that time of year again and the results of the 2010 OHL Coaches Poll will be announced in the next week or so. So Ryan and I have decided to have another contest. Unfortunately Sean hasn't seen enough OHL action this year (due to his placement in Switzerland), so he won't have an opportunity to defend his crown.

Without further ado. Here are my predictions.
