UND Ranked No. 1 in USCHO and USA Today Poll

Earlier today, I tweeted: These polls are fun to read but really meaningless. How many other games did the voters actually watch? 

The only poll that matters is the final Pairwise Ranking on Selection Sunday. Polls are fun to read. During the first six weeks of the season, there were four teams ranked No. 1: BU, BC, Minnesota, and Wisconsin. All four of those teams are really good. To some teams, the No. 1 Ranking can be a curse. 

There could be a new number one next week. According to Schloss, the last time UND was ranked No.1 was March 22, 2021, when it held the top spot heading into the NCAA tournament.
