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)

I'm a little surprised that Colgate didn't show up near the bottom of the USCHO poll. I know they're only 8-9-3 but they just beat #1 and #2 in back-to-back games.
January 7th, 2014 at 4:43 PM ^
They have a few good wins; They beat Ferris twice, Union, Clarkson, and Minnesota.
They also have don't have very many losses to bad teams. Bowling Green and UMass are bad losses but Yale, RPI, St Cloud and Quinnipiac are quality teams.
They may end up being a fringe team at the end of the year, but will probably need to win the ECAC.

Since it stil the pairwise that matters most, and where quality wins count the most, it's worth noting that the Red Raiders are 24th there. On the outside looking in for now, but by no means in the wilderness.

Big series in Madison this weekend. I'll see y'all at the Kohl Center.
January 9th, 2014 at 2:20 AM ^
I'll be there for both games. We can win this series with Kerdiles out.
