For comparison, Robin Locke does consider margin of victory in his rankings, and he has UND at No. 4:

Re: USCHO Women's Hockey Posters Poll
Carrying on with the poster's poll this week. Any lurkers around for the NCAA tournament are welcome to join in.
1) Minnesota -- Dumb

2) Clarkson -- Didn't see that coming. Still pretty close with Wisconsin.
3) Wisconsin -- Not really playing all that great lately.
4) Cornell -- Didn't see that coming. Quality title win in a quality conference.
5) Boston College -- Facepalm
6) Harvard -- I don't really have anything new to add on them this week, pretty much the same story as it has been the last few. Nothing special.

== Now what?

7) North Dakota -- Didn't expect them to beat Wisconsin. But Wisconsin seems to be in a bit of a slump. Still, really really nice win.
8) Quinnipiac -- If you didn't look at the standings every week and physically see them sitting on the tournament bubble you wouldn't have even known they were there.
9) Mercyhurst -- Dominated RIT in the loss, but it's RIT, so yeah.
10) Boston University -- Jerks.Grant Salzano, Boston College '10
