ECAC Coaches and Media Polls

The pre-season polls ECAC were released today, and there seems to be a concensus on who the top four teams and bottom two teams in the league will be. I'm still not sold on a Princeton repeat, but the trend of these polls seems to place alot of weight on the defending champion.
