#4 in USCHO with that #1 vote doggedly hanging on.  We're closer to #2 than #5:

With that logic we are also closer to unanimous #1 than current #5...

[Trotsky]

Here's the PWR and I'll add the polls after they come out tomorrow. Posters have talked on another thread that there doesn't seem to be an easy way to find old PWRs, except maybe at the end of the season.

Here are the final PWR standings since 2001.

[margolism]

Polls should be interesting given that Clarkson, St. Cloud, and Notre Dame all lost this weekend.

[imafrshmn]

I predict Cornell will be up to 3rd this week, coming very close to 2nd. Even as we're in the midst of one of our best seasons in recent memory, I think the team is still flying under the radar because our offense is so balanced that none of our guys show up near the top of national scoring statistics. Our defensive solidity is almost taken for granted. In contrast to some of Schafer's best teams, this year's success comes without our PP or PK being outstanding, yet we lead the nation in Scoring Margin--this suggests our even strength play has been great.

This seems about right to me, too.  We might even stay in 4th though I think our trace first place votes will be back.

The bold is very important, I think -- we have the balance that Schafer's best teams did.  We're going to need that when we play the best up tempo opponents to avoid the "sparring partner" trauma of those NC$$ losses like getting outshot by 20 at Wisco and at Minny.  This squad has the ability to push the opponent back deep into their zone.  That takes a lot of pressure off the D and goalie.

[upprdeck]

the PP at times has little to show for some really good puck movement.. Sometimes that just starts to feed on itself.   just a slight uptick in goals from the PP this time of year would be huge. Depth is something that really shows on the PK, the ability to roll out multiple lines of solid PK is big

[Swampy]

I'll leave it to someone like Jim, who understands the ins & outs of copying & pasting poll results, to post the complete poll here.

But the men are #2 in this morning's USCHO poll, w/ 15 first-place votes(!)

Women are still at #6.

As usual, the USA Today poll is running later than the USCHO poll.

[Trotsky]

Closer to 1 than 3.  Holy shit.

[osorojo]

The solo voter has friends and no more flying under the radar.

Yup, careful what you wish for.

During the Schafer Era we have only been 2nd or better this late twice: 03 and 05.
