The College Hockey Discussion List Poll for January 18, 1995:
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.
Maine keeps the top spot again, but on the strength of a weekend sweep at
defending national champion Lake Superior State, Michigan surges past
Colorado College into the HOCKEY-L poll runner-up spot. Farther down,
Harvard re-enters the poll at #12 after a weekend sweep at Dartmouth and
Vermont. Speaking of Vermont, the Catamounts drop three places after losing
to Brown as well as the Crimson.
Also, this week's total of 36 responses establishes another new high for the
HOCKEY-L poll.

A bit of an oddity in this week's Tad-rate. Boston University did not
finish first in any of the three rankings, yet by virtue of three #2 votes
grabs the top spot in the Tad-rate.
