Polls 2017-18

[Swampy]

Team always fares better in weeks when they study for exams. No chance of losing games or ground.

To prove your point, Clarkson swept SLUt and dropped one place. ::wtf::

No polls this week, and don't know about the next 2, but thought I'd keep track of the PWRs.

No complaints about how we're playing, but there's no way to justify giving us a 1st place vote over a red-hot Clarkson team that beat us soundly in our own building.

The January 2nd polls were released. Up to #4 in USA Today; Stayed #5 in USCHO.

We got a first place vote in USCHO. (?!)

I guess one voter in each poll believes in win percentage über alles.

Casey probably felt bad voting for himself

This is the latest in the season we have had at least one #1 vote since 2009 (5 in each poll on 1/19).

IIRC you can't vote for yourself.
