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.
