USCHO.com\/CSTV Division I men’s poll<\/a> Monday, taking 38 of 40 first-place votes and all but two of 600 possible points to stay at No. 1 for the second consecutive week.<\/p>\nThe Eagles are the first No. 1 team to remain atop the poll this season. They earned that right with a 3-1 road win over Maine Friday, in BC’s only game of the weekend.<\/p>\n
Last week’s No. 2 team, Michigan, also held onto its position — and one first-place vote — via a sweep of Miami, while Minnesota rose to No. 3 by winning two at home against now sixth-ranked Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
Three fellow WCHA teams followed the Gophers. Colorado College lost its first game of the season but not the voters’ respect, climbing three spots to No. 4 after a road split with new No. 5 North Dakota. The Tigers leapfrogged the Sioux in the rankings, although both teams gained ground overall.<\/p>\n
No. 6 Wisconsin was followed by New Hampshire, and then by eighth-ranked Cornell, the nation’s only remaining unbeaten team and the holder of the poll’s remaining first-place vote. Minnesota-Duluth, meanwhile, lost twice in Anchorage and fell six spots to No. 9. Maine, which beat UNH Sunday after falling to BC, rounded out the top 10.<\/p>\n
Denver dropped to No. 11, with CCHA schools Northern Michigan and Ohio State taking the next two slots. Colgate returned to the poll at No. 14, and Alaska-Anchorage debuted at No. 15 after its sweep of UMD.<\/p>\n
Dropping out of the rankings were St. Lawrence and Nebraska-Omaha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
