Two human polls made up the 2000–01 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey rankings, the USCHO.com Division I Men's Poll and the USA TODAY/American Hockey Magazine Poll. As the 2000–01 season progressed, rankings were updated weekly. There were a total of 18 voters in the USA Today poll and 40 voters in the USCHO.com poll. Each first place vote in the USA Today poll is worth 15 points in the rankings while in the USCHO.com poll every first place preseason vote is worth 20 points and all other first place votes are worth 15 points with every subsequent vote worth 1 fewer point.
The 2000–01 NCAA Division I men's ice hockey season began on October 6, 2000 and concluded with the 2001 NCAA Division I Men's Ice Hockey Tournament's championship game on April 7, 2001 at the Pepsi Arena in Albany, New York. This was the 54th season in which an NCAA ice hockey championship was held and is the 106th year overall where an NCAA school fielded a team.
