How the heck can we be in 5th place in the CCHA and have 8 CCHA teams get votes and we get nothing???? And how can UNO who hasn't won a single game get 5 votes?? Polls are ridiculous!!

UNO's still "living off the fat" of beating New Hampshire...pollsters havn't seemed to notice that New Hampshire hasn't beaten anybody of note.

Thats all that the boys can do to get some votes in the poll. We've just gotten our first wins of the season this past week after going winless and a tie in our other games. Give it time. We haven't done anything yet to deserve votes in a poll yet. Gosh if football had a record similier in kind would we football fanatics be demanding votes for the Top 25?? :-\ If we keep winning we'll get our due eventually.

This isn't the issue. I don't think anyone is clamoring for votes in ranking polls (just yet), but the fact that two teams who are winless (or close to it) in the CCHA, not to mention far BELOW us in the conference standings is what is galling here. You can make a case for OSU to be getting votes (but not nearly as many as they are getting) simply because they had such preseason hype, but UNO? Come on. We made UNO look silly last weekend and even their own fans are prepping themselves for a leap off of a tall building (RE: www.mavpuck.com ). For them to be getting votes is beyond ridonkulous.

Well, alot of these teams that you think shouldn't be getting votes based on their play this year are maybe living off their success last year and the preseason hype for this year. We did't light up any hype fires after last years end to the season, so it might be understandable why we arn't in on those hype votes. Its kinda the same for football. Gosh we couldn't get in the preseason Top 25 in football even though we had Omar back and winning a bowl game last year.

Stop comparing hockey to football. The 2 have absolutely no relation to each other. The beef is legit. A team we just smushed should not be getting any votes unless we are also. No matter how much negative spin you put on the team, you can't intelligently argue against that.

Good Post. The whole mindset of the NCAA hockey community is so totally different than the BCS crap that football has to exist within. There is little or no comparison on any level to football and never will be.

GO HOCKEY!!
SWEEEEEEEEEEP THE IRISH!!!!!!!
