I think polls are *less* important that college hockey than basketball. Because we have only a twelve-team tournament, the selection and seeding can be done entirely according to objective statistical formulas. My impression is that basketball uses the RPI as well, but with 64 teams to seed, they have to make lot more judgement calls. Whether or not the polls are supposed to contribute to those decisions, it seems hard to ignore them. And don't even get me started about football...
