The College Hockey Discussion List Poll for November 25, 1991: 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. For the first time, the HOCKEY-L voters agreed not only on the top team, but the second-place team as well, as every response had Maine and Lake Superior ranked 1-2.

Here's the Tadpoll composite of HOCKEY-L and the three media polls above. Tadpoll generally does not include the TCHCR rankings, because TCHCR is a cold, mathematical rating system rather than a warm, emotional poll :-) :-) But just for the sake of comparison, I've also created an enhanced Tadpoll (a Frog?) which lumps TCHCR in with the polls (though I know Keith hates it when anyone does that...)
