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.
