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.

1. Colorado College –

After trip to Michigan Tech this weekend, Tigers play 9 of last 12 at home.

2. Maine 1 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."
3. North Dakota 2 Dean Blais lashed out at a Fargo radio guy. Um, Dean, we're sorry about dropping you two spots, okay?
4. Cornell 1 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 2 Ben Eaves had 2-6—8 in 2 GP over the weekend. If only we could all perform that well with a groin injury.
8. Michigan 1 Saturday, Wolverines gave up a third-period lead for fourth time in their six losses.
9. Boston University 1 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.
11. Ferris State 2 Bulldogs, with four-point lead in CCHA, host reeling Northern Michigan this weekend.
12. Ohio State 1 Findlay win extends Buckeye unbeaten streak to eight games (7-0-1).
13. Harvard 1 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 1 RedHawks need points against Western Michigan this weekend, because series with Ferris State, Michigan State and Ohio State follow.
16. Alabama-Huntsville NR North Dakota: you can send that "Nation's Hottest Team" mantle to Alabama.
