  • D3 Polls - 2017-18

    We all realize that the polls are only for entertainment as D3 crowns its champ on ice but I figured I'd start this thread to discuss the humor of or perceived injustice of poll voting throughout the season.

    Oct 30 uscho poll:

    5 Norwich (1) 0- 1-0 201 1

    So, do you think the pollster who voted NU #1 this week forgot to check game results, decided to roll with their last week's submission, or is super extremely confident?

    I think he missed the game's result. If he's that confident, what does he know that we don't.

        It's also just one game. SNC lost their opener 4-2 a couple years ago and finished 2nd in the NCAA that year.

            So NU won two games in against good teams this past weekend, moved up two spots, yet lost their first place vote. The mystery deepens...

                  Trinity and Trine are next to each other on the ballot.

                    Polls are just that, fun,but they do give those who aspire some bulletin board material...Lakers to #4 in both polls,Potsdam and Platty will have their shot at the bullseye this coming weekend......

                        Uscho doesn’t conduct its poll through an online portal like d3hockey does.

                        Trinity might have autocorrected to Trine.

                            I've had the opportunity to ask a few college coaches about the polls, and every one of them told me that they left "their" votes to be cast by an assistant of some sort. (Once, an equipment guy was cited in this regard, no bull.) The coaches knew there was no reason to waste even 10 minutes on it.

                            These days the polls mean absolutely nothing, yet I do agree that they provide some entertainment... That said, I can't wait for the D-3 KRACH to come out.

                              The KRACH doesnt mean anything either.
