And, while we're at it, break up the Air Force.
I know full well that we're dealing with early-season effects, but it's fun to look at Whelan's KRACH. We've played the most difficult schedule in the country, dammit!

Followed by New Hampshire, Colgate, Princeton, and Northeastern. Take that, WCHA.

More importantly, 5 ECAC schools would make the NCAA tourney (Princeton, Cornell, Colgate, Yale, and Dartmouth), and only 1 CCHA and 2 WCHA schools [siouxsports.com]

Looks like the Siouxsports guys have some sort of bug, since the breakdown for Northeastern shows them winning the RPI criterion over Air Force despite having a lower RPI:

I also have the PWR, BTW, at

Not that this really means anything so early in the season, of course...

Here's a another meaningless fact: without the NCAA's "bad wins" fudge, Cornell would have the best RPI in the nation right now:

The "1" looks to me like it is in the Air Force column.jtwcornell91ursusminor

Of course, it doesn't mean anything, but that doesn't stop you from displaying KRACH this time of the year either.

It's all just a pleasant fantasy. But oh, to see the heads exploding in the west if this were to somehow continue through March!ursusminor

They seem to have fixed it, presumably in response to the message I sent this morning.ursusminorThe "1" looks to me like it is in the Air Force column.jtwcornell91ursusminor

OTOH, I think their adjusted RPI is still wrong, since they didn't drop AFA's two wins against Bemidji State, even though doing so would further improve the Falcons' RPI.

You're right on both fronts. In this week's poll, Princeton and Air Force each get a first place vote:

We know it won't stay that way once the WCHA is allowed to start getting easy wins against themselves and the ECAC is forced to beat up on each other night-in-and-night-out

Hmmm. There is a word that we might use to describe Harvard. It is on the tip of my tongue but I can't quite think of it. I think that it starts with the letter "s".

Enjoyable as it is to watch Harvard suck, keep in mind that mid-January last season they were 6-10-3 and struggling similarly, but wound up in the ECAC championship game against Princeton after beating you-know-who in the semis.Roy 82lynah80

Harvard never manages to go 7-0 or even 5-2 OOC. They always seem to do their best to blow it for everyone else by rolling over in non-conference games. They are looking to get blown out on the first two mondays in February this year too the way it's been going for the other three. Of course, you're right, Al. They'll string together some sort of hot streak at the end like they always seem to do and cost Cornell or Princeton, or some other conference team an NCAA berth/seed. They're good for nothing.
