Which Teams Moved Up in Final College Hockey Polls of September?

The preseason USA Hockey College Hockey Poll was released on Monday as the men's season is set to start this weekend with games across the nation. The USCHO men's preseason poll was released last week and wasn't updated.

The USA Hockey poll is conducted each week in conjunction with the American Hockey Coaches Association, with coaches and journalists doing the voting.

Meanwhile, this week's women's USA Hockey poll will be updated here after it's released on Tuesday. The USCHO women's poll saw some movement with Penn State, Quinnipiac and St. Cloud State all moving up two spots, and Minnesota Duluth one.
