The College Hockey Discussion List Poll for February 1, 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's ten-week hold on the top spot comes to an end, as the Michigan
Wolverines knock the Black Bears out of #1. There is a pretty close
consensus among HOCKEY-L voters as to who the top four teams are; Michigan,
Maine, Colorado College, and Boston University combined for 104 of a
possible 112 first- through fourth-place votes, or just under 93%.

Once again, the East-West split is nearly identical, the only difference
being that Minnesota and Denver change places. Oddly enough, Minnesota
seems to be getting more respect in the East than in the West.
