Power Rankings: Denver back ahead of Boston College for top spot (#493)

After a road sweep over North Dakota, Denver sits back atop my weekly power rankings, edging out Boston College after the Eagles fell at UConn on Friday night.

Today’s issue (#493) also includes:

• My full 1-16 power rankings. Remember, my rankings are a snapshot of what I believe the NCAA Tournament will look like, not a true 1-16 order (due to automatic bids), but very close.

• Who are the five teams I believe have the best shot at winning the national title this week?

• Who are the five teams this week on the bubble that I believe have the best shot at making the NCAA Tournament?

• Who is the one team from 6-15 in my power rankings with the best chance of winning the national championship?

• Our weekly look at the intra-conference records of each conference.

• We have some fun and put together a meaningless bracketology for people to get excited (or upset) about.

• More on AIC dropping its hockey program to Division II starting next season.
