Defending national champion Boston University was five games under .500 at the winter break, but the Terriers have turned things around in 2010.<\/p>\n

With nine victories in 12 games since the break, they’re back in the hunt for a home-ice spot in the Hockey East playoffs and possibly an at-large spot in the NCAA tournament.<\/p>\n

And on Monday, they reappeared in the USCHO.com Division I Men’s Poll at No. 19. It’s BU’s first national ranking since Nov. 9, when it was 17th.<\/p>\n

The top four was unchanged, with Miami, Denver, Wisconsin and St. Cloud State holding those spots. Yale moved up a spot to No. 5.<\/p>\n

Minnesota-Duluth, Colorado College, Boston College, Bemidji State and Cornell rounded out the top 10.<\/p>\n

Boston University was second in the preseason poll but crashed out of the rankings after a 3-6 start. Despite a loss to No. 8 Boston College in last Monday’s Beanpot championship game, the Terriers have climbed to 20th in the RPI and a tie for 18th in the PairWise Rankings.<\/p>\n

At No. 20, Alaska is back in the rankings for the first time since Jan. 4. The Nanooks are 2-2-5 in their last nine games.<\/p>\n

Michigan, 19th last week, and Massachusetts-Lowell, 20th last week, dropped out of the rankings.<\/p>\n

This week’s schedule features four series between ranked opponents, highlighted by No. 3 Wisconsin hosting No. 4 St. Cloud State.<\/p>\n

Also, No. 11 North Dakota hosts No. 6 Minnesota-Duluth; No. 12 Michigan State hosts No. 14 Ferris State on Friday before the teams switch sites Saturday; and No. 13 New Hampshire hosts No. 17 Vermont.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
