Hopefully, our mailer is now well-fed and won't be eating any more of these.
If people are interested, I'd like to keep the HOCKEY-L poll going up
through the championship game.
 
The College Hockey Discussion List Poll for March 18, 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.
 
     Composite poll  (4 responses):

There was only one Eastern response this week, so I'm not going to do the
East-West breakdown.  Here's this week's composite HOCKEY-L, NCAA, TCHCR,
and RPICH (coming your way ASAP):

The NCAA ranked both Colorado College and Harvard #15.
 
I've been confining the Tadpoll to media polls only -- but just for fun,
here's a Tadpoll that includes both the mathematical rankings (TCHCR and
RPICH), as well as the NCAA poll and our own HOCKEY-L poll (rankings higher
than 15 do not get any points):
 
     1.   Maine (3)           57
     2.   Michigan (1)        56
     3.   Minnesota           54
     4.   Lake Superior       49
     5.   Michigan State      45
     6.   Wisconsin           36
     7.   Northern Michigan   30
     8.   Boston University   29
     9.   Alaska-Anchorage    27
          New Hampshire       27
     11.  St. Lawrence        22
     12.  Miami               14
     13.  Providence          13
     14.  Western Michigan    10
     15.  Clarkson             6
