BU and Wisconsin drop like rocks, while North Dakota remains atop
the Hockey-L Poll this week for the second week in a row. In looking at
the ratings, you can see that our poll is comparable to the ratings of the
teams, and their averages... Conversely, you'll see that our poll is a
little different from the other polls from around the country...
I'll let others discuss the "Other teams mentioned" part of the
poll this week, as there were several... I suspect this is due to the
fact that once you get out of the top 5-6 teams, there's a lot more
"opinion" than there is "fact"...
DROP THE PUCK!!! (said when there's a T.V. time out, not because the
linesmen are waiting for players to line up...) :^)

**/** As mentioned in previous weeks, when ties occur in this poll, I
have decided to rank (for sake of ease) based upon the number of 1st place
votes. Where UNH and MSU had similar number of 1st place AND 2nd place
votes, I turned to 3rd place votes, where UNH had 4 and MSU had 1. (this
occured a few weeks ago between UND and MSU)
Others receiving votes: Northeastern 6, No. Mich 4, Colgate 2, CC 2,
Maine 1, Minn-Diluth 1, RPI 1.
