The polls, despite a loss last Friday, have been quite kind to the Eagles. This is mostly due to the fact that they won the Beanpot and managed a split with a decent Lowell team. With that in mind....
USCHO: The USCHO poll has BC at #8. This is up 2 spots from last week. It is also a big compliment that BC continues to be ranked above UNH, who are ahead of the Eagles in the standings. It should be noted that BU has also re-entered the rankings at 20, while UVM stayed at 17 despite losing and tying Merrimack.
USA Today: BC went up in the media poll as well, from 10 to 9. Deserved. UNH and Maine are the only other HE schools in the poll, at 13 and 15, respectively.
INCH: INCH has BC up again this week, but only to 11 from 12. They seem to think that BC is not a top 10 team. I am willing to give them that, but Yale and Michigan State? I think BC can beat both.
Poll average: 9.3
That puts them right in the top 10. A nice weekend against Northeastern should put them in a solid home ice spot for the HE playoffs and an almost guarantee return to the NCAAs.
