Cornell #15 in USCHO, behind Quinnipiac ( and Harvard(14) in the ECAC. Seems high but glad to see that maybe others are more optimistic about our kids than we are.

Dropping 14/18 spots?  What'd we do?!

[Trotsky]

We always slide a bit in a the several weeks the rest of the NC$$ gets a head start.

I'm thinking disappearing for a season didn't help either.

We went from 15 to 13 in USA Hockey.

The USA Today/USA Hockey Magazine College Hockey Poll is conducted each week in conjunction with the American Hockey Coaches Association. The poll includes input from coaches and journalists representing each of the NCAA Division I ice hockey conferences, as well as composite votes from officers of the AHCA and USA Hockey.

Not clear if "input" means they actually vote.

I strongly suspect that a lot of them don't.  I suspect "input" means that someone, not necessarily the coach, but someone who is (or may not be) affiliated with the team and who has time for such things sends the vote in.

Years ago, Cornell football got a first-place vote in a Div. I-AA poll.  They were undefeated at the time, but still, the coach was quick to point out that it was some staffer, and not himself, who actually voted.  I think he was trying not to piss off Cornell's next opponent.  (IIRC they lost anyway)

Not only did Cornell lose that week, they lost the following three weeks to close out the season.  Unbeaten Penn was being ranked while unbeaten Cornell was not, so...  I'm not convinced that someone other than Hofher cast that ballot.

Ugh, I remember that season.  From undefeated to a losing Ivy record.  And that was back when the Cornell football games were all on satellite, and the Cornell Club of Santa Barbara scheduled a viewing party for the Penn game at a sports bar in Santa Barbara, which kicked us off the TV in the 4th quarter so people could watch the start of some jock factory matchup.  But didn't do the same thing to the people watching the Harvard-Yale game on the other of the bar's two feeds, because that game was special.  ::cuss::
