Only the coaches know the answer to that one. I know, for one, that I did not consider them in my top 13. It's much too early to take these polls too literally. Last week, I saw MSU outplay BC and lose. I think BC is pretty good. But MSU then lost to Northeastern. Northeastern has upset potential all the time, but this was enough to drop MSU out of the poll. Then MSU beats two teams ranked previously #1 and #3. So they're way up in the poll again, and deservedly so. But things will fluctuate wildly early on. And maybe those Hockey East teams are better than everyone'e giving them credit for.
