Michigan falls one spot from 7 to 8 after not playing last weekend. Quinnipiac beat a Maine team just on the outside of the Top-20, so they flip spots from 8 to 7.

Minnesota tied Colgate Frday night but Ferris State lost to Colgate Saturday night, so the Gophers stay at #1.

Our next opponent Wisconsin fall one spot after sleepwalking through their series against Alaska-Anchorage, getting a late goal to avoid a home sweep.

Past opponent Nebraska-Omaha was dropped from the poll after a sweep from New Hampshire, who rejoins the poll at #20. Boston College moves into the Top-5 after the Frozen Fenway win against Notre Dame.

No much change here but Michigan moves up a few percentage points from last week.

Boston University is sliding, and it doesn't look like they will be a quality win on our tournament resume.

The RPI rankings are starting to take shape. Minnesota is the only team above .6000, and eventually there won't be any. About half of D-1 hockey remains above above .5000.

In the state of Michigan four teams rank above .5000. Ferris State (.5851), Michigan (.5599), Lake Superior State (.5200) and Western Michigan (.5031). Three teams are below; Northern Michigan (.4880), Michigan Tech (.4863) and Michigan State (.4772)
