The Sparks Magazine college hockey poll for the week ending Sunday, 3/13: 1. Michigan (30) 730 2. Boston University (20) 729 3. Harvard 641 4. Minnesota 570 5. Lake Superior 549 6. Mass Lowell 458 7. Wisconsin 427 8. New Hampshire 423 9. RPI 332 10. Clarkson 306 11. Colorado College 257 12. Western Michigan 245 13. Michigan State 154 14. Northern Michigan 82 15. St. Cloud 81 Others receiving votes: Northeastern 63, Brown 62 Sparks Magazine also has coaches vote on the top ten teams in their own region, East and Central/West. Here are the results of those polls: Top Ten East: 1. Boston University (18) 235 2. Harvard 212 3. RPI (6) 168 4. Mass Lowell 161 5. Clarkson 160 6. New Hampshire (1) 148 7. Northeastern 80 8. Union 76 9. Brown 63 10. Vermont 31 (That's exactly as written on the fax of the poll results. Personally, I find it difficult to believe that RPI got six first-place votes and Harvard got none. Especially since that would mean the other nineteen voters gave RPI a total of only 18 points) Top Ten Central and West: 1. Michigan (25) 250 2. Lake Superior 206 3. Minnesota 195 4. Wisconsin 151 5. Michigan State 137 6. Western Michigan 132 7. Colorado College 79 8. Northern Michigan 76 9. St. Cloud 57 10.
