UND will be the new #1 in all hockey polls

There's no reason to think that whoever is ranked #1 nationally going into the Final 16 won't be the #1 seed. None. So yes, hopefully we win four more games and retain that #1 ranking. It doesn't mean everything, but it means a lot. 

Um ... UND finished second in the final USCHO poll last spring to an ECB* team (Cornell). Still trying to decipher that one.

There's no reason to think a #1 in a poll won't get seeded lower than an ECB team like BC or BU come season's end and tourney time. Or if it's UND UMn 1-2 they'd love to seed the moldin' rodents over the NCHC to acknowledge the great and lofty battles survived in the B1G. Snarky? Cynical? Yup, and yup. But when you're the most binary team (you love 'em or you hate 'em) in college hockey it comes around and happens far too often.

Lol. Cynical indeed.

After the Sioux win at Omaha coupled with BC losing, UND will be #1 in both college hockey polls. Looking good for that #1 seed heading into the Final 16. 

Polls really only matter as far as the final poll.  It would be fun to have a weekly poll that would rank the 20 worst college hockey teams each week.  You would see some of the lower echelon teams play their butts off to get off that list.

Except this year.     Smoked filled room with Whiskey?
