Overrated

The polls don't matter, but why is Princeton (13-3-0) still ahead of Cornell (9-1-3)?

Quick analysis of their schedules:

Princeton
(13-3-0)

Key wins:
Northeastern (neutral ice)
Minn State-Mankato (home)
Nebraska-Omaha (home)

Losses:
Cornell (home)
Mercyhurst (neutral)
Dartmouth (home)

Cornell (9-1-3)

Key wins:
Princeton (away)
North Dakota (away)
St. Cloud (neutral)
UMass (away)

Loss:
North Dakota (away)

Cornell has had some big performances away from home this season, and I don't think you can say the same about Princeton.

We'll see what happens this weekend. Cornell might have trouble getting four points against a Niagara team coming to Ithaca with nothing to lose, while Princeton will beat up on Onion and RIP at home.
