The last time Michigan Tech's hockey team made it to the NCAA Tournament was 1981. They've had 2 winning seasons in the last 30 years. This year, they're doing well and look like they'll finally make it back to the tournament. It's possible that with a dedicated voting effort from their student body, the Michigan Tech votes could be legitimate.
However, both their players' votes are steadily going up by a couple hundred a minute even now (after 3am in Michigan), so I'd say it's safe to assume that someone there figured out a way to rig the voting. That's what you get when you stick a bunch of nerds together in a small town in the middle of nowhere in Northern Michigan.

Sorry didn't notice about the two different schools, there site makes it vary hard to look at the current rankings.
But it does really seem fishy
