The Gophers are the unanimous No. 1 after a weekend sweep of Bemidji State.

St. Cloud State's Saturday upset of No. 2 Union pushed the remaining first-place votes in favor of the Gophers (4-0-0) entering the fifth week of the college hockey season.

The top four spots were unchanged despite Union's split with St. Cloud State. Union, North Dakota, Colgate and Boston College round out the USCHO poll Top 5.

St. Cloud State (2-2-0) climbed two spots to No. 7, Minnesota State (4-2-0) is up one spot to No. 12, and Minnesota Duluth (3-3-0) remained at No. 19.

Michigan (2-3-0) dropped one spot to No. 15 after a win against ranked Massachusetts-Lowell and a loss to ranked Boston University.

Minnesota programs were 6-4-0 over the weekend. The Big Ten was 5-3-0.
