Although Boston College (8-4-0) hopped up three spots and Maine (6-3-3) dropped seven when USCHO released its most recent D-I rankings, the biggest story of the week was Merrimack.
The Warriors came in at 18th nationally, the first time in the program's 22-year history in D-I that they're ranked (they were, incidentally, not ranked in the USA Today poll, and come in at 17 in the Pairwise rankings).
While Boston University (7-1-4, Number 2) didn't gain anything in the polls after splitting with UNH (6-2-3), the Wildcats did move up a notch to number six.
BU also ranks highest in Hockey East in the Pairwise rankings, at six. UNH is seventh and Boston College eighth, with Maine tied for thirteen with Minnesota.
