Wow. BC back in front in your poll too? Someone who will not be named who is missing in action would be popping a bolt right now if he saw that.

It was very close (1 point). Each of the top 3 (BC/UMN/UND) have had a disappointing loss where they did not play up to their potential, so it should be of little surprise that they revert to their preseason rankings. This weekend will be a test for BC, and if they win both they should remain atop the polls. If they falter, Minnesota will likely regain the top spot, unless the Gophers lose to Canisius...which would be very surprising.

Of course you know that I don't care. After losing to Tech the way they did the Gophers probably should be out of the top 5. Lotsa season left.

I understand where you are coming from. Tech is a very good team, and they will challenge for home ice. Typically you can win the MacNaughton by sweeping at home and splitting on the road (especially against the top 1/2 to 2/3 of the conference). Minnesota is right on track if that is the barometer. While I know most Gopher fans were very surprised at the result on Friday, the bigger picture (as you point out) has not been painted just yet.

I can remember one game last season where UND played Tech and they were difficult to play against and a tie felt like a loss, meaning they were very good and UND was lucky to get the tie. Pearson is a good coach and I expect MTU to be just as hard to play against this season as well. I had them at 6th and they ended up in the Web Media Poll.
