Getting votes

Minnesota State received votes in the first USCHO.com poll of the season. This is the poll I use when showing where teams are ranked, not just because I vote on it but because it's also the one The Associated Press uses. Not surprisingly, Denver was voted No. 1. The Pios certainly had my vote. Here is the poll:
