With a triumphant sweep over in-state rival Denver, Colorado College captured the majority of the first-place votes in this week’s USCHO.com Division I Men’s Poll<\/a>. The Tigers finished first with 593 points and enters next weekend with the No. 1 seed in the WCHA playoffs and will face Alaska-Anchorage. Colorado College is also first in the USCHO.com Pairwise Rankings (PWR)<\/a> which charts NCAA selection criteria.<\/p>\n

Cornell, which stands at No. 2 in both the poll and the PWR, was idle this weekend. The Big Red had a bye for the first round of the ECAC playoffs, but will face Rensselaer next weekend in the quarterfinals.<\/p>\n

The No. 3 Wildcats of New Hampshire advanced to the semifinals of the Hockey East tournament at the FleetCenter next Friday after defeating Mass.-Lowell in two games this weekend. New Hampshire will face upset winner Massachusetts, which toppled No. 9 Maine in a pair of games in Orono Thursday and Friday.<\/p>\n

The CCHA regular season champion, Ferris State, finishes at No. 4 in the poll and No. 8 in the PWR. The Bulldogs downed Bowling Green twice and finished with a six point lead in the conference standings. Ferris will host Lake Superior in the CCHA First Round, beginning Friday.<\/p>\n

Boston College rounds out the poll’s top five. The Eagles were involved in a tragedy this weekend, as BC’s Pat Eaves inadvertently collided with Merrimack goalie Joe Exter in a race for the puck, sending Exter to the hospital with a fractured skull on Friday evening. Exter remains in a coma, and Eaves will continue to serve a five game suspension when BC faces Beantown rival Boston University on Friday in the Hockey East semifinals. Friday was Eaves’ first game back following a spinal injury that left him sidelined since December.<\/p>\n

At No. 14, Michigan State makes its first appearance in the poll since November 4th, 2002, when the Spartans were ranked thirteenth. MSU finished fourth in the CCHA, and is 13-4-1 in its last 18 games, including two wins over No. 7 Michigan. The Spartans will play Alaska-Fairbanks in the first round of the CCHA tournament on Friday.<\/p>\n

Next weekend, most leagues will just be getting underway with their tournaments, and so match-ups between ranked opponents are few and far between. The only one outside of Hockey East is No. 11 North Dakota, which hosts No. 14 Denver for a best of three series in the WCHA. <\/p>\n

The USCHO.com Poll is compiled by U.S. College Hockey Online, and consists of 40 voters, including 28 coaches from the Division I conferences and 12 beat writers from across the country. The poll is published weekly by the Associated Press.<\/p>\n

The PairWise Ranking is a system which attempts to mimic the method used by the NCAA Selection Committee to determine participants for the NCAA Division I men’s hockey tournament. The PWR compares teams with a Ratings Percentage Index (RPI) at or above .500, judging them by four criteria: record against common opponents, head to head competition, record against other teams with RPIs at or above .500, and the RPI.<\/p>\n

The PWR can be reformatted and redistributed by any media outlet or person, provided USCHO’s URL (http:\/\/www.uscho.com\/) accompanies the results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
