INCH Power Rankings
As Maverick
said in Top Gun, "I'm gonna hit the brakes and they'll fly
right by." OK, it's a flawed metaphor, but by sitting still
this weekend while North Dakota split with Minnesota, Colorado College
took over sole possession of the top spot in this week's Power Rankings.
Take a look
at how the Inside College Hockey editors and staff think the contenders
stack up – and let
us know what you think.

Bruce
Crowder to the Bangor Daily News: "I'm sick of coaching
against Kariyas for a decade. Marty is a fantastic player, just
like his older siblings." |

North Dakota |

Dean Blais
lashed out at a Fargo radio guy. Um, Dean, we're sorry about
dropping you two spots, okay? |
4. |
Cornell |

The Big
Red went bowling with their fans Friday night. We're not sure
what to make of that, but we like it. |
5. |
Denver |
1 |
Sixth in
the WCHA, but fifth in the country? The Pies are better than
their conference record suggests. |
6. |
New Hampshire |

Dartmouth's
two North Country losses might take some luster of off Wednesday's
matchup in Manchester – but they shouldn't. |
7. |
Boston
College |

Ben Eaves
had 2-6—8 in 2 GP over the weekend. If only we could all
perform that well with a groin injury. |

Michigan |

Saturday,
Wolverines gave up a third-period lead for fourth time in their
six losses. |

Got the
winter blahs? A BU-BC home-and-home cures all ills. |
10. |
Minnesota |

Will the
Gophers ever get completely healthy? Matt Koalska latest to
go on the shelf. |

Ferris
State |

Bulldogs,
with four-point lead in CCHA, host reeling Northern Michigan
this weekend. |
12. |
Ohio State |

Findlay
win extends Buckeye unbeaten streak to eight games (7-0-1). |

Harvard |

Here's
hoping exams aren't as tough as last-place Princeton was Saturday. |
14. |
Massachusetts |

A split
with Merrimack keeps UMass in the hunt for home ice. Yeah, it's
been an odd season in Hockey East. |
15. |
Miami |

RedHawks
need points against Western Michigan this weekend, because series
with Ferris State, Michigan State and Ohio State follow. |
16. |
Alabama-Huntsville |

North Dakota:
you can send that "Nation's Hottest Team" mantle to
Alabama. |
