One would think, given that the ECACHL has the best overall inter-conference record and second best vs. "Big 4" teams, there would be more (read: some) ECACHL teams in the top ten.

Not that the polls matter, of course.

UVM, BC and UNH are all too high...Hockey East is being overrated at the expense of the ECACHL


(insert token statement about how the polls don't matter so no one will try to explain to me that the polls have no bearing on NCAA tournament selection)
