Cornell made the biggest move in our Power Rankings this week, enjoying some Terrier for Thanksgiving desert in a two-game sweep. As a result, the Big Red moved to No. 3, leap-frogging BC, UNH, North Dakota and DU.

The top two teams stayed the same, but both face stiff challenges this week. Colorado College tangles with arch-rival Denver in a home-and-home, while Maine visits BC for two.

Take a look at how the Inside College Hockey editors and staff think the contenders stack up – and let us know what you think.

1. Colorado College – CC faces Denver next weekend. Air Force coach Frank Serratore, after playing both this weekend: "I feel like we were the pregame meal, to be honest."
2. Maine – Black Bears escaped with 2-1 win over Quinnipiac to extend unbeaten streak to 10 (9-0-1). BC is next.
3. Cornell 4 BU came to town, like the good old days in Lynah. Except these days might be even better for the Big Red.
4. New Hampshire 1 Wildcats must be wondering how UConn is 2-5-1 in the MAAC. So are we.
5. Boston College 2 Live Free or what? BC's only losses came to New Hampshire teams: UNH and Dartmouth.
6. Denver – See above, Colorado College.
7. Michigan 1 Sweep leads the charge as CCHA posts 3-0-1 record in College Hockey Showcase.
8. North Dakota 3 Dean Blais said he might add a goaltender at the break. After giving up 10 goals to Mankato, now we know why.
9. Ferris State 1 Even the golf course management majors at Ferris State turn out when the Spartans come to Ewigleben, as they do Friday night.
10. Miami 2 Redhawks one of three teams with an NCAA-best 12 wins.
11. Harvard 3 It's not The Game, but Crimson at Yale Saturday should be exciting.
12. Minnesota 3 Lucky to tie Michigan State, not so lucky against Michigan.
13. Ohio State – Can't wait to see Miami vs. Ohio State? You can see them twice in Columbus this weekend.
14. Boston University 3 Catching hot teams at the wrong time; swept by Cornell with home-and-home against UMass next.
15. Massachusetts NR Three straight wins help Minutemen (8-5-0) match last season's win total.
16. Dartmouth – No place like Hanover: Big Green are 6-0-0 at home, 0-4-0 on the road.
