No respect for Quinnipiac. Gophers still No. 1


Sadly, I'm not surprised that Minnesota remained atop the USCHO.com poll despite a weekend loss to Minnesota State. Strange things take place on a weekly basis in this poll. Fact is, Quinnipiac holding steady at No. 2 probably isn't even the most egregious abnormality this week. Northern Michigan is in 8th place in the CCHA, its conference record 5-11-4, yet someone voted it as the 20th-best team in the nation.

Yale also holds on to No. 8.

Here's the full poll, with my ballot below.
