Nice poll

The fact that OSU is 23rd (third in the "others receiving votes" category) of this week's NCAA hockey poll is a pretty good indication of one of two things.

Either A) It shouldn't be a top-20, because there really aren't that many good hockey teams around or B) it's a bigger sham than the Harris poll.

This is a team that's coming off a split at home with Notre Dame, split at Alaska-Fairbanks the week before that, got swept earlier this month by Bowling Green and is a scorching hot 3-5-1 in 2006, entering this weekend's series at Yost.

By the way, those three aformentioned teams who went a combined 4-2-0 against the Buckeyes combined for exactly zero votes.
