There were some huge wins last week, particularly a pair of overtime victories at Boston College (by New Hampshire) and at Maine (by the Black Bears, over New Hampshire). Our new No. 1 team didn't win either of those games – in fact, Colorado College didn't win at all – but they haven't lost since Oct. 12. The Tigers are back in action this weekend with a pair of non-conference games, while a series with rival Denver looms Dec. 6-7.

Take a look at how the Inside College Hockey editors and staff think the contenders stack up – and let us know what you think. Send us your own Power Rankings, with comments, and we just might publish them.

1. Colorado College 2 Tigers ascend on strength of 10-game unbeaten streak and earlier win over Maine, while Hockey East teams beat each other up.
2. Maine 5 Black Bears' only loss came to CC, and they've shown they can win with offense or defense.
3. Boston College 2 Thanks to Sean Collins, Eagles suffer first loss of season in OT to Wildcats.
4. New Hampshire 2 Next games between UNH and BC will close out the regular season. They've got a lot to live up to.
5. North Dakota Think the Sioux are all offense? NoDak's allowed a total of six goals in its last five games.
6. Denver 2 Five-game unbeaten streak includes ties at Michigan Tech and Alaska Anchorage.
7. Cornell 2 Nothing like a win over Harvard to get Lynah jumping. Although this weekend's BU series will come close.
8. Michigan 2 Bad Saturday for Wolverine fans: Notre Dame upset in hockey follows football loss to Ohio State.
9. Minnesota 1 Travis Weber emerging as go-to guy in goal for the Gophers.
10. Ferris State 4 Bulldogs cruise into bye week with three-point lead in CCHA standings after sweeping Ohio State.
11. Boston University 1 Terriers snap brief skid while continuing UMass Lowell's.
12. Miami 1 Bye week, then these opponents -- Ohio State, Denver, Clarkson or New Hampshire, and Michigan.
13. Ohio State 3 Hopefully John Markell's car didn't get turned over when Buckeyes were enduring sweep at Ferris.
14. Harvard 1 Nothing fishy about 7-1 win over Colgate Saturday.
15. Providence College 2 Friars need divine intervention. They're 1-4-1 in their last six.
16. Dartmouth NR  Yeah, you read that right. Dartmouth. Big Green are 5-3-0 with wins in four straight.
