The College Hockey Discussion List Poll for February 23, 1994:
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.
Wisconsin made a huge move this week, jumping five places to #5 after a
sweep at Northern Michigan. The Wildcats, along with fellow WCHA member
Minnesota, had the week's biggest slides, each dropping four spots.

A near-even split between Eastern and Western voters this week, and the two
polls themselves are fairly even as well. Mass Lowell gets a bigger boost
in the East, while Michigan State fares a bit better in the West. Surprise
of the week: most of Brown's support comes from Western voters.

This week's media composite. Note that the three media polls are almost
identical, and that they and the HOCKEY-L poll all have the same top 13
teams. Perhaps a consensus is building in this season of upsets?
