USCHO Preseason Men's Poll gave us a little love. Looks like we're ranked 30th (out of 60). http://www.uscho.com/rankings/d-i-mens-poll/

Teams we play who are above us:

• o Minnesota State - 18th
  o Western Michigan - 20th
  o Michigan Tech - 22nd
  o Bemidji State - 23rd
  o Miami State - 26th
  o Michigan - 27th

We start the season playing 3 of 5 games against top 20 teams in an 11-day period. Gut check time. Other interesting items are the only Nacho team not receiving votes is Colorado College. Five WCHA teams received votes.

I know, I know...it's preseason polling and it doesn't mean jack. No need for the reminder.

Let's get out there and snag some W's, Falcons.

The USCHO poll is a bit like kneeling for the national anthem. It's anxiously awaited at the beginning of the season, it brings about drama at the start of every week, and everyone has an opinion about it. But the most striking similarly is that neither has ever brought about anything meaningful.
