Frankly, there aren't any surprises in this week’s USCHO Poll. As I have said in the past, the USCHO Poll is fun to discuss. Also, the only poll that really matters is the one that is announced on Sunday in March after the Conference Championships are over. For the most part, the top six of the USCHO Poll breaks down much like the Pairwise Rankings. There are a few differences.

Taking a look at the USCHO Poll, Quinnipiac remains in first place. No major shock there. The F’NHawks remained in second place this week. The Sterns Community College Huskies are ranked third. Rounding out the top five, the Boston College Eagles are again fourth. Apparently, the voters think that the Michigan Wolverines are worthy of the fifth place position. I think it would be hard to gauge how good Michigan actually is because their conference has been very, very weak this season.

Defending champ Providence College has dropped from fourth to sixth place.

The University of North Dakota remained in second of this week’s USCHO.COM poll. So, for another week, we won’t have to listen to fans complain about UND being in the number one position. J In the only poll that matters, UND is currently third place in the Pairwise Rankings.
