Losing to Quinnipiac didn't affect Cornell's 12th place standing in the USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine Men's College Hockey Poll - Nov. 20, 2006. (Maybe hockey has mulligans?) The Fighting Deer Ticks are at least on the also-got-votes list with 8.

Note the Florida Hockey Classic has No. 2 Maine, No. 8 UNH, No. 12 Cornell, and No. Unranked Western Michigan (not No. 15 Northern Michigan).

Congratulations to Cornell for... giving Q it's first spot in the top 20. (It is their first, right? I can't imagine that they were voted into the top 20 in 2002.)
