Wisconsin - 15 first place, 3 second place, and 2 third place (!).
Ohio State - 4 first place, 15 second place, and one third place.
Yup. May as well quit now and devote more time to my stamp collection. Season is over before it starts. Trophy already engraved. Oh well.
Clarkson at #9 maybe but losing David and Markowski will hurt. Getting Frenette and Petrie (Harvard) back from injuries and Hicks (Syracuse) and Guay from BC will help. Looking at what Cornell has I would rate Cornell higher than Clarkson. Big non-league games against Vermont at Gutterson as well the opening non-league games against Merrimack and BC (despite what the BC Fans are saying) will tell a lot. LETS GO TECH!!

Mercyhurst is a top 15 team in my opinion.
Here is the USCHO poll from yesterday, with a comparison for each team's placement in the preseason poll (↑up, ↓down, or same) so far:
| 1. | Wisconsin (20) | 8-0-0 | same as preseason | |
| 2. | Ohio State | 5-1-0 | same as preseason | |
| 3. | Colgate | 5-1-0 | ↑ | 1 |
| 4. | Minnesota | 5-0-0 | ↓ | 1 |
| 5. | Quinnipiac | 8-0-0 | ↑ | 3 |
| 6. | Clarkson | 7-0-1 | ↑ | 3 |
| 7. | Yale | 1-1-0 | ↓ | 1 |
| 8. | Minnesota Duluth | 4-2-0 | ↓ | 1 |
| 9. | Cornell | 4-0-1 | ↑ | 1 |
| 10. | St. Lawrence | 6-1-0 | ↑ | from receiving votes |
| 11. | St. Cloud State | 7-2-0 | ↑ | 2 |
| 12. | Vermont | 3-2-1 | same as preseason | |
| 13. | Northeastern | 6-3-0 | ↓ | 8 |

Hard to know right now. UM plays at OSU this weekend so we'll see if either one is a pretender.
10, at minimum! Do you really want to bet against St. Lawrence, for example?

College Hockey Inc covering women’s hockey. Love to see it! Reminds me a bit of the articles the Yale coach writes in the off season.

They also show the d1 programs now for women …this is honestly great. Hope they keep building it out.

Colgate is in the mix so far. St Lawrence and Clarkson will get their chance against Colgate. Quinnipiac just lost back to back to Clarkson and SLU.
The other conferences had trouble against the WCHA teams in the 2023 national tournament. I feel, though, that the ECAC teams are improved this season. At Thanksgiving, there are 2 series, Colgate at UMD and St. Lawrence at the Buckeyes. Cornell plays the Gophers Nov. 25. Continuing on from the Colgate-Ohio State split, these games may be helpful to gauge how other teams do against the WCHA.
Could it be at least the top seven or eight, though it seems tough to say yet? USCHO poll, Oct. 30: [TABLE="cellspacing: 0"]

Let's go RED!
tosu got the sweep though their save % was not great but they did get over 100 sog on the weekend, which is very interesting. Colgate is 3 and WI destroyed them in their barn last year with a team that has less a bit talent than it has now. The big question is will UW and tosu somehow get put on the same side of the bracket?
As long as Wisconsin and tOSU are each 1 or 2 in the pairwise in the postseason, I think that we can be confident they will be on opposite sides of the bracket. I think the tournament the last year or two has had bracket integrity for the top 5 seeds and gone by pairwise ranking. It might be interesting to experiment with TonyTheTiger20's pairwise calculator looking ahead.
Here is a nice podcast from Nicole Haase and Todd D. Milewski this week, Women's Division I College Hockey: Podcast pilot. I'm glad to see that they're looking to make it a regular thing : )
They discuss the polls so far touching briefly on the stability in the top 4 teams. They mention St. Cloud State rising, as well as their goalies Sanni Ahola and Jojo Chobak being early candidates for top goalie, possibly hampered for their selection by being a tandem.
They also mention Cornell captain Izzy Daniel as a potential early, early candidate for Patty Kazmaier finalist. She has 2 or more points in each of Cornell's 9 games so far (22 total) and leads the country in points per game.
They point out that statistics are especially hard to use for judging defenders, but they single out Clarkson junior Haley Winn as another early star/Patty Kaz finalist watch. Caroline Harvey of Wisconsin would be right now though she's injured. Winn has 14 points in 12 games; Harvey, 16 in 7 games.
For ranked matchups, I know from Haase's Victory Press article that BC is playing a series at Vermont this weekend, and there's a Clarkson at SLU game.
