After a one-week hiatus from publishing rankings due to the holiday season, Rankings #7 for the season were posted on January 10th.  But with no games played during that holiday break, no changes were seen in the rankings.  That maintains Cal U of PA at #6, Pitt-Johnstown at #8, and Fredonia State at #12.

ACHA Men's Division 3 has implemented computerized rankings for the 2017-18, with a new rankings released after each weekend of games.  The final rankings period will comprise all games played through February 11, 2018, which then sets the field for the ACHA postseason.  The Top 2 seeds in the Atlantic earn a trip to the ACHA Men's Division 3 National Tournament in March, held again in Columbus, OH.  The next 8 teams advance to the Atlantic Regional Tournament on February 23-24, where two more teams will earn their way to Nationals.
