No. Dakota remains atop the Hockley-L Poll this week, capturing 7
first place votes.  Michigan moves up and BU moves down as the season
continues to wear on some, and keeps improving for others.
        Polls and ratings are again included.  The Hockey-L Poll fits
right in with the tops of the other polls available at posting time.  The
ratings again show some interesting trends, with Colgate looking better
than the polls do it justice. PLEASE NOTE, that the PWR used in this
compilation are from John Whelan, as he does NOT include games versus U.
Nebraska-Omaha.  It seems clear that they are not eligible for NCAA
tournaments, and thus are not included in his numbers...  Some may note
that this causes some discrepency in PWR and RPI found in other sourses...
        Thanks for all the votes this week...
