With our 4 point weekend, and Maine losing twice, is it realistic to think we'll jump up another notch in both the USCHO and USA Today polls???

They had a bit of a lead on us (especially on the USCHO poll), but I can't see that holding up after this weekend...

Even better, IF Colorado College loses tonight (giving them 1 point this weekend against unrated Wisconsin), could we dare hope to move as high as #6.

I know we didn't beat anybody really good this weekend, but hey, 4 points is 4 points...

As of 11:11pm, up to #8 in PWR.

We'll see. As Grady pointed out, last week Maine took 3 of 4 points from #2 UNH and moved *down*. Polls are inherently unpredictable.

Cornell now has the #3 winning percentage in the nation.

Agree, who cares what our poll position is? We need to win at LP, get our TENTH and hopefully a good NCAA seed and be able to watch them in Worcester.

Although I agree that the polls are not particularly important, I wouldn't say they are meaningless. They are a form of recognition for the team's efforts --maybe the only one that gets widespread circulation during the regular season-- and for the much maligned ECAC I think it's good for the league to have a team residing in one of the top spots, lest its reputation suffer further. And I don't know how much it helps, but I can't imagine that it hurts recruiting to have your team show up in the national polls for 12, 13 or whatever the streak is now weeks in a row.

That said, I'd gladly forego showing up in the polls for a 10th ECAC championship. :-)

> And I don't know how much it helps, but I can't imagine that it hurts recruiting to have your team show up in the national polls for 12, 13 or whatever the streak is now weeks in a row.

Monday will be the 14th straight week on USA Today -- every poll this season -- and the 13th straight on USCHO -- they finished #16 in the first poll.

And I agree that polls are a recruiting tool. The major recruiting period is during, not after, the season, so it helps to be up there in the national polls when the coaches visit the recruits. The higher, the better.

How the teams around us did this weekend (USCHO order):

1 Denver: WT Minnesota-Duluth
2 St. Cloud: WW Michigan Tech
3 UNH: Providence (today)
4 Michigan State: WL Notre Dame
5 Minnesota: WW at North Dakota
6 Colorado College: TW Wisconsin
7 Maine: L at BC, L at Merrimack
8 Cornell: W Princeton, W Yale
9 BU: W UMAss-Amherst, vs Northeastern (Monday)
10 Northern Michigan: LL at Western Michigan
11 Michigan: WW UNO
12 Lowell: T at Providence, T UMass-Amherst

Leading me to suspect:

1 Denver
2 St. Cloud
3 UNH
4 Minnesota
5 Michigan State
6 Colorado College

After that, who knows? If BU wins the Beanpot, I wouldn't be surprised to see Maine and BU swap spots:

7 BU
8 Cornell
9 Maine

If BC (sic -- Northeastern) wins the Beanpot, or if the Beanpot isn't counted in the poll, then maybe Cornell will move up a slot, but they could just as easily bump Michigan way up for sweeping UNO.
 
Polls and the Beanpot

I suspect the polls will be taken before the Beanpot final is completed, so it probably will not affect this week's poll.

And it will take some miracle for BC to win the Beanpot, since they were beaten in the first round last Monday and BU is facing my wife's Northeastern Huskies for the championship. nut

Well, I can guarantee that BC will not win the Beanpot this year, since the final is BU vs Northeastern. ;-)

Note, FWIW, Cornell is #16 in KRACH and #14 in KPWR. (The #14 and #15 teams in KRACH have losing records.)

Incidentally, Bemidji State has played a tougher schedule (as measured by both KRACH and RPI) than anyone in the ECAC.

Is it just me, or are the polls being released later and later as the season goes on, just to frustrate the hell out of us? help

And that shirt doesn't look good on you.

This is about the time of day Beej usually gripes that the polls come out later and later each week just to annoy him....
