Analysis

Just as I predicted the Boston University Terriers are the new team with the bulls eye on their back. While there are no awards for finishing with a great record in October and November they have been the best team in college so far. These polls are all over the place like the CBS/New York Times presidential poll. UMD is ranked in one poll and not in the other ones.

The polls have Air Force ranked 12, 13 and 12, this is based the Falcons beating no one from the big 4 conferences.

Notre Dame Beats Boston College 4-1 on Friday night and moves up only three places in the polls.

Media Darling Princeton is still ranked 12, 11 and 9 after losing to Cornell this weekend.

Check out this podcast.

I think this is one of these podcasts from Paul Allen's show that is a must listen for KFAN rubes. During the first hour of this past Monday's show Paul Allen talks about the transition for KFAN during the 0900-1200 time slot. Seems, Paul Allen is looking for a hockey rube to talk college hockey. Interested people should inquire about the position.
