Mavericks ranked 11th

Minnesota State slipped a spot in both national polls, falling from 10th to 11th despite an exhibition victory. The reason? Voters moved Minnesota into the top 10 after the Gophers tied at Minnesota Duluth on Saturday and beat the Bulldogs 7-4 on Sunday in Minneapolis. It's early, of course, and only a handful of teams have played real games, so, for what it's worth, here is this week USCHO polls (the USA Today/USA Hockey rankings can be found here):
