Furthermore, we got 343 points this weekend compared to 259 last week, which is a big surge.  Also, on the (early) PWR, we're #1!

But #6 and #5 have 444 points.  Seems like it may be real difficult for us to break into #6.  We'll probably stay at #7 even IF we sweep this weekend (not that that's the end of the world).

[Al DeFlorio]

Great to see six different teams get first place votes in both polls.

[rhovorka]

Also, it's interesting to see the similarities between the 2 polls, with only a couple teams flip-flopped in position.

But the real reason I'm posting is to wonder who the heck gave UMass-Lowell votes?  They're 0-7 in Hockey East games so far, and 4-8 overall.  One win vs. Colorado College goes a long way.

Cornell is also #1 on the season's first CHODR listings found at http://it.stlawu.edu/~chodr/current.html

[Greg Berge]

Just keep winning.  It will take a fairly long time to get voter respect, but that's ok (and understandable, given the ECAC's failure to win a national championship for 13 seasons).

The next 6 games are all NC (and complete the NC slate in the RS).  I am hoping the Big Red can pick up 8 points in those games to keep pace with the other national contenders.  Anything more than that would be cause for a huge celebration.  Less would have to be considered a setback.

[French Rage]

Wow, the CHODR predicts we'll win against BU by 4.16 to 1.70.

Pretty much no matter what we do, until somebody who's currently top 6 loses some games, we're stuck at #7.  (And for that matter, if all those teams keep winning, and we keep winning, and Michigan or Ferris keeps winning, I think we'll probably get dropped to #8 through no fault of our own.)

I'd like to know how Brown still got votes after a no-goal weekend...
