First off...the College Hockey Journal pre-season $29 special has been
extended through November 5th!  The first issue (dated October 22) was just
released, so there's still time to get a full seasons worth (26 weeks) if
you're interested.  The address is:
 
  College Hockey Journal
  P.O. Box 69
  Horton MI 49246
 
Or phone (517)563-GOAL.
 
Now for the picks...
 
Top 12 (as chosen by CHJ's national correspondents):
  1. Lake Superior (16) 320
  2. Boston Univ (7) 315
  3. Wisconsin (3) 292
  4. RPI (1) 211
  5. Maine (1) 211
  6. Michigan (2) 164
  7. Michigan State 164
  8. Harvard 149
  9. Miami 119
 10. Minnesota 92
 11. Michigan Tech 74
 12. Clarkson 69
Others: UNH 49, NMU 40, BGSU 19, UMD 12, Denver 11, UAF 8, UML 8, SLU 4, WMU
3.
 
It appears that there are ties for 4th and 6th place, but the above is how
CHJ presents the results.  BTW, why isn't every poll a top 12?  To me it
makes the most sense, only 12 teams will compete in the NC$$ tourney.  The
top 10 or top 15 just doesn't seem right.
