Well maybe I misunderstood you, but a Preseason Poll is what you expect
will be the standings of the teams at the end of the year.  Technically
is the Preseason Poll is correct, there won't be any changes, and the
same ranking would be at the end of the season.  If you expect the Lakers
to finish first in the CCHA then your Preseason Poll should reflect
this.  I have always thought of a Preseason Poll as what you personally
think the standings will be at the end but you make this poll before the
season actually starts so you have no idea how the teams are except
through player rosters and past performance.  SO what I guess I am saying
is that if you expect the Lakers to be #1 in the CCHA in the end then
your Preseason Poll should be the same.  The Preseason Poll is just your
prediction of the future and you predict in the future that Lakers will
be #1
 
Well, I'm probably pretty repetitive but I'm sorry if I misunderstood
what a Preseason poll is.
