The College Hockey Discussion List Poll for January 12, 1994:
Teams were given 15 points for a first-place vote, 14 for a second-place
vote, and so on down to 1 point for a fifteenth-place vote. Total first-
place votes are in parentheses.
Harvard is the week's big mover, jumping from eighth to third. The Crimson
won both of their games last weekend, something none of the teams above them
(except for #1 Michigan) managed to do. Harvard might have been able to
dislodge Lake Superior from the #2 spot if the Lakers' two losses had been
to anyone but Michigan. In the other direction, Wisconsin dropped a pair
against Minnesota and slid four spots after surging to #3 last week.

An even East-West split this week, as each side sent in ten responses. The
oddity of the week finds Mass Lowell getting nearly twice as many Western
votes as Eastern votes, for some reason.

Wolverines remain a unanimous #1:
