The College Hockey Discussion List Poll for February 24, 1993:
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.
Another new high for the HOCKEY-L poll, as this week saw 20 votes come in.
Not surprisingly, the Black Bears retain the top spot (which they've held
since November 4, the second week of the poll), despite their first loss of
the season. The top eight remain untouched as usual (see the table at the
end of this post). Meanwhile, Minnesota has returned to the Top 15 after a
five-week absence, thanks in part to a 5-1 record over the past three weeks.
