CCHA coaches and media don’t agree on the order, but they agree on this in preseason polls: Miami and Michigan should be the top two teams in the league this season.<\/p>\n
Michigan took the top spot in the coaches poll, while Miami led off the media poll.<\/p>\n
The Wolverines, who return 19 letterwinners from a team that rallied in the CCHA playoffs last season to extend its streak of NCAA tournament berths to 20 years, got eight of 11 first-place votes from the coaches.<\/p>\n
Miami got the other three first-place votes from the coaches, who are not allowed to vote for their own team.<\/p>\n
The RedHawks, featuring 17 returning players from a team that made its second straight Frozen Four appearance in 2010, earned 57 first-place votes from the media.<\/p>\n
Michigan got 17 first-place votes, and Michigan State got one.<\/p>\n
