Denver splitting with Rensselaer was enough to drop them below Cornell, and that can't happen without Cornell moving up - no big mystery on the "haven't played yet" thing.  But hey, if you're looking for explanations, eleven goals against anybody ain't a bad reason for slightly higher vote-getting.

RIT breaks into the polling scene for the first time in their short history. Notre Dame's hot. 6 games already for some teams...  ::help::

Is the reason Notre Dame has different rankings in the two polls because its record is different in each of them? ::screwy::

[calgARI '07]

Will the result against RIT count this season?  Since they're still not eligible for the NCAA Tournament, I'm guessing not.

Good question, but I don't think so either.
