I think printing a top 25 would force the polls to list teams
with losing records. I think this would have a negative effect
on college hockey, not a positive one, since people would see
it as "small-time" and then forget about it.
 
I think it would be a better publicity boost for college hockey to
have one poll published instead of 3 or 4. Maybe have one super-poll
published consisting of an equal number of coaches, media members,
and hockey-l fans, sort of like the tad-poll.
