The College Hockey Discussion List Poll for November 25, 1991:
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.
For the first time, the HOCKEY-L voters agreed not only on the top team, but
the second-place team as well, as every response had Maine and Lake Superior
ranked 1-2.
Composite poll (17 responses):

The WMPL poll also ranked Clarkson #9.
Here's the Tadpoll composite of HOCKEY-L and the three media polls above.
Tadpoll generally does not include the TCHCR rankings, because TCHCR is a
cold, mathematical rating system rather than a warm, emotional poll :-) :-)
But just for the sake of comparison, I've also created an enhanced Tadpoll
(a Frog?) which lumps TCHCR in with the polls (though I know Keith hates it
when anyone does that...)
