The Gophers were ranked as the No. 1 team in the nation last year for 10 consecutive weeks, from Jan. 14 to March 18, up until the NCAA Frozen Four, where the team finished third.
There are three Western Collegiate Hockey Association teams represented in the polls; Minnesota is first, Minnesota-Duluth in third and Wisconsin in seventh.
Minnesota travels to St. Lawrence this weekend, facing its fourth ranked opponent in the month of November. The Gophers return home, Nov. 30 when UMD comes to town.
