Keeping No. 7 ranking in perspective

jpaisley — Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:24:46 +0000

After coming into the season picked to finish eight by the Western Collegiate Hockey Association’s coaches and seventh by the media, the league-leading Tigers (7-2-1, 6-1-1) are ranked No. 7 in both major polls.

”It’s good for confidence and it’s good to get some recognition nationally,” coach Scott Owens said. “But it doesn’t really matter at all. What counts is the RPI and Pairwise in mid-January.”

The league lead is more important as are the 13 points in eight games.

“We need to make sure we pile up some points because our schedule gets much tougher after Christmas,” Owens said.

CC ranked 19th by both major polls

jpaisley — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:54:31 +0000

The two main college hockey polls agree — Colorado College is 19th in the nation. CC (2-1-1) was ranked there in the USA Today/USA Hockey and U.S. College Hockey Online polls that came out Monday.
CC did not receive any votes in the former and few in the latter last week.
Air Force (0-4) got three votes in the USA Today/USA Hockey poll but not in the other.
CC earned three points with a win and tie at Wisconsin, while Air Force was swept by visiting Alabama-Huntsville.
Both teams are home this weekend. CC plays host to Michigan Tech and Air Force to RIT.
