I think it is much too early to get bent out of shape about this team ranked and that one not. In fact, I am not certain that polls tell anything about hockey until after Christmas. Early season polls are largely a combination of hype, wishful thinking and hold over from the previous year. Let the teams decide on the ice. It is nice to have cross league comparisons; but remember last year? Where was Michigan at the end? Where was Maine and UNH? (Closer to home, where was Tech?) I think it is better to be unranked at this stage to avoid complacency and lack of objectives to improve with. Walt Olson
