Maine is the unanimous #1, according to the HOCKEY-L pollsters. TEAM (1sts) PTS HIGH-LOW 1. Maine (10) 10 1st-1st 2. Providence 33 2nd-4th 3. Boston College 37 2nd-7th 4. Boston University 38 2nd-6th 5. New Hampshire 47 3rd-7th 6. Merrimack 58 4th-8th 7. Northeastern 65 5th-8th 8. UMass-Lowell 72 6th-8th One point was given for a first-place vote, two for second, etc. down to eight for 8th. In the high-low column, I left out the results from one respondee who picked Maine first and a 7-way tie for 2nd. :-) Points for predicted ties were determined by summing all possible points (in this case, 2+3+4+5+6+7+8), dividing by the number of teams involved (here, 7) and assigning the answer to each team involved. At least you know the 7th place vote for BC came from me. :-) I was surprised that 7 of 10 people put BC 3rd or 2nd. - mike
