I don't see the logical reason for having one last meaningless poll, in my opinion the tourney is over and the UMD Bulldogs are the NCAA Champions, congrats to them for their great season. I also think that the NCAA tourney should be the final poll... Also, after being spanked by the C.C. Tigers 8-4, the 2010 NCAA champions, the B.C. Eagles still ended up being ranked above the Tigers; so still no love for C.C Tigers in the final poll.
What is it with the voters that voted for teams that didn't even make the NCAA tourney, but also ranking said teams over teams that did... Anyone ready for next season already.
