I still stick with my pick of St. Cloud at #1(you can read why here), but I can not really argue much with these polls. The Fighting Sioux will definitely be a very talented and difficult team to beat this year. I am glad to see that SCSU was the only school other than UND to get first place votes in both the polls. Go Huskies!
