Despite losing in OT this week, Miami of Ohio has basically been untoched in the rankings as the gap is slowly starting to close as the gap between Miami of Ohio and 2nd place North Dakota is now only at 70 points at top despite North Dakota only getting 2 first place votes. Just below the top 5 is 2 big jumpers as the Michigan State Spartans jumped an impressive 7 spots from 13 to 6 and also getting a first place vote, just below them in 7th is the Colorado College who have jumped up 3 spots from #10 and being the leaders in the WCHA.
Despite playing in the 4 team CHA Conference and expected to win that conference by a wide margin, it's 8-1-1 record has them in 8th after falling a spot from #7. Near the middle of the rankings is Yale and U-Mass who both jumped up 3 spots to #9 from #12 despite only playing 5 games. Yale has several big non Conference games coming up as they will be playing Hockey East Leaders U-Mass later this week.
Quinnipiac had a very strong week as they lead the ECAC and helped them jump 7 spots from #20 to #13 while Wisconsin are the newest team in the rankings as they went from unranked to #15.
