Looks like a close loss to Princeton didn't hurt Harvard (sucks!) at all in terms of poll position, though I don't know about vote count. But with the exam break, who knows?
I'm a bit surprised St. Cloud moved up given that they have had a number of losses against weak teams. Guess those big wins mean a lot more. And maybe the fact that everyone looked at the PWR rankings and decided they're a better team after all.

Well, it takes a damn good team to give up five goals to Dartmouth.
Clarkson is getting votes!

Who is voting for Quinnipiac?
They should have their votes taken away.
That is such a joke.

If all you look at is overall record (and I'll bet at least a few voters do only that), well, Quinnipiac is 14-4-1, very similar to top-10 teams New Hampshire and Ohio State. And Q has actually won a couple of non-MAAC games this year! OK, they were over Bentley and AIC at their own tournament (Q Cup), but still...
I am not saying I agree with this reasoning (far from it!) but I can see it.

That isn't reasoning. Votes for Quinnipiac are either superficial analysis or bogus "support the conference" boosterism.

"Support the conference" isn't always bogus. Let's say there was a voter who philosophically refused to vote for any ECAC team, period. Let's say a different voter knew of this and simply adjusted his/her votes to push ECAC teams the "correct" number of votes forward in compensation.
I would not call that bogus (because it would benefit us
