Looks more like consolidation at the top.  The top 2 teams gained ~100 pts, 3 & 4 got about 80 and so on.  There were a lot of teams getting "other votes" last week, and that dropped this week, both in number of teams and in number of votes received.

Maybe Denver & Cornell both fell this week because some folks realized how difficult their opening games are. Denver goes on the road to Maine (who's played 2 games), while Cornell will face a Michigan State team that has already beaten NoDak, has 2 upcoming exhibitions games, plus gets to play Michigan before heading to Lynah. Home or not, that's about as tough an opening weekend as one could have. Should be a lot of fun.

The poll clearly penalized them for the bad ice that caused BC to cancel their exhibition this week.

Probably has something to do with Phil Kessel joining a Frozen Four team from last year.
