The WMPL poll was voted on by coaches. The College Hockey Statistics Bureau (CHSB) / WMEB poll was voted on by media.

The College Hockey Statistics Bureau started ranking 15 teams in 1988.

KBJR-TV of Duluth, Minnesota started a coaches poll for its nationally syndicated show, College Hockey USA. For unknown reasons, the station stopped conducting the poll at the end of January 1990.
