Analysis: I am not sure why they would even have a final poll. Give me a break RIT isn't the 10th best team in the country, I don't care if they made the Frozen Four before Wisconsin chewed them up and sent them home with the tails with their tails between their legs. They barely made 19th in the final pairwise rankings. I think song really explains the way I feel right now...

Weekly Meaningless Polls?

I know it's a little late and I don't see what the point is having a power ranking or a poll after the season is over and there are only four teams left but it does give us something to talk about for the next two weeks.

As always I include the INCH power rankings.

1. Miami
2. Wisconsin
3. Boston College
4. Denver
5. St. Cloud State
6. Yale
7. North Dakota 2 The Sioux lose two key seniors in forwards Chris VandeVelde and Darcy Zajac, but if defenseman Chay Genoway comes back after missing most of the past season due to injury, NoDak should start next season among the top five in the preseason polls.
25-13-5 LAST WEEK: L vs. Yale, 3-2 (NCAA Northeast Regional).
8. Cornell
9. RIT
