Wisconsin drops to No. 2 this week.

Minnesota-Duluth jumps one to No. 8, Bemidji State falls to ninth and Harvard remains No. 10.

Utilizing my mathematical skills, since a first-place vote is worth ten points, second-place is worth nine points, and so on, this means that Minnesota got 10 first-place and 5 second-place votes. Wisconsin got 3, 8 and 4, respectively, and Cornell got 2, 2 and 11.
Seriously? Wisconsin travels to Minnesota, splits the series, and falls that far? I mean, only 3 first-place votes and 4 third-place votes?
Thank goodness the only “poll” that counts is the one taken after the national championship game.
