[ This got lost in our mailer somewhere and apparently never made it to
  the list.  It's old news by now, but I figured I'd resend it anyway... ]
 
The College Hockey Discussion List Poll for March 11, 1992:
 
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.
 
Playoff losses last weekend sent a couple of teams reeling.  BU's loss to BC
dropped the Terriers four spots in this week's poll, while RPI's defeat of
Harvard knocked the Crimson out of the top 15, to be replaced by newcomer
Colorado College -- the first time the HOCKEY-L poll has had a new member
since January 15.

This week's composite includes only the NCAA poll, TCHCR, and RPICH (a
newcomer from Erik Biever).  I didn't see any media polls this week.

The NCAA ranked Harvard #14.
 
No Tadpoll this week, due to the lack of media polls.  I wonder if the above
will fuel the inevitable argument over which of TCHCR and RPICH is the more
accurate?
