Can we just stop messing around now and put BU at the top of the pole?!?!?

Re: Can we just stop messing around now and put BU at the top of the pole?!?!?

Apparently no one can handle the pressure of being number one. BU will be another one and done following Tech at the top of the "pole". Should be an interesting week for the voters. Might as well throw the names in a hat and draw them for the top 5 places. I think it will be a very split vote this week.

(Last week's rank)
(1) BU - Moving down, loss to Dartmouth
(2) UND - The new #1? (tie & win vs UNO)
(3) Minnesota - Moving down, loss to Northeastern
(4) UM-L - Moving down, loss to Harvard
(5) Miami - The new #1? (off this week but split with UND a couple weeks ago)
(6) Tech - Moving up, but likely not to #1 as they won't get much credit for sweeping UAH
(7) MN State - Moving up, but again won't get enough credit for sweeping LSSU to be #1
(8) Duluth - Could be moving up in spite of a split due to the number of losses from the top teams

I can't see anyone lower than this jumping to #1 this week.

(Last week's rank) [NEW rank]
(2) [1] UND - The new #1? (tie & win vs UNO)
(7) [2] MN State - Moving up, but again won't get enough credit for sweeping LSSU to be #1
(1) [3] BU - Moving down, loss to Dartmouth
(5) [4] Miami - The new #1? (off this week but split with UND a couple weeks ago)
(6) [5] Tech - Moving up, but likely not to #1 as they won't get much credit for sweeping UAH
(3) [6] Minnesota - Moving down, loss to Northeastern
(4) [7] UM-L - Moving down, loss to Harvard
(8) [8] Duluth - Could be moving up in spite of a split due to the number of losses from the top teams

In my opinion, Miami got the screw job of the week. They already beat UND yet they lag behind at 4th. I figured a Miami/UND #1/#2 or #2/#1. Mankato got the biggest gift of the week jumping all the way to #2 by sweeping WCHA last place LSSU. I guess the pollsters are just positioning MSU to be #1 the next time UND loses... Everyone else basically moved as expected.

All Tech heard about was weak SOS when they were #1, yet MSU gets huge props and a five position bump for beating the worst team in the WCHA this season. Go figure... I was very surprised that Miami didn't get any 1st place votes.

PS - Duluth Bulldogs' fans also should be barking... Swept Minnesota and STILL rank behind them? Really?

So Harvard gets more number 1 votes than BU but can't scrape over 9th? Pole voters be crazy!

as far as mookie's eye can see, only one intelligent man (or broad). :(

Maybe when they're not ranked 8th in the Pairwise and 8th in the RPI?
