Title: Ceramic Dalmatians, 2024
Post by: Trotsky on October 25, 2023, 10:20:13 AM
10/23: we drop to 12 from 11 in USCHO.

UMD is 11 up from 14, so we are neighbors.

Other ECAC:

Qpc 5
Hvd 17
Brn 34 (okay...)
Clk 34

I wonder which poll voter gave Brown their pity 20th-place vote and why.  The Bears are already so impressive with their *checks notes* total of zero games played so far this season (not even an exhibition).

They're undefeated!

If there was an ECAC Media Poll, I missed it.

Cornell up to 17 in PWR (https://www.collegehockeynews.com/ratings/pairwise/).  Augustana (18) leading CC (https://www.uscho.com/gameday/division-i-men/2023-2024/2023-10-28/game-6961/), the only other remaining perfect team, so by tomorrow we could be the sole 1.000 team.

I think the decisive weekend sweep of a "legitimate" (read: western) power may goose us in the polls a bit and at least get us into the top `10.  We have been top 10 on Halloween (http://www.tbrw.info/?/weekly_Updates/cornell_Poll_Block.html) just once (2020, grr) in the last ten years.

Yale won in overtime so they are .667 due to Derp Points.

But Princeton is still perfect.

Only 1.000 team.  I'd buy that for a dollar.

Also: we got a first place vote in both USA (https://www.usahockey.com/college) and USCHO (https://www.uscho.com/rankings/d-i-mens-poll/).

Drop to 10 on both polls and, obviously, lose our #1 votes.

Thought I'd update this after Cornell's biggest win of the season...

Cornell is now #16 in the USCHO poll, after last week's placement at...#16.  BU, after losing to the #16 team in the poll, is #4, after last week's placement at...#5.

These are "ceramic dalmatians" and they don't mean anything, I get that.  But still.... ::demented::

In fairness to BU, they also posted a win over then-#3 Quinnipiac since last week's poll.

and the word is that they are reading this forum and are factoring in the cautionary posts from me and BearLover about the run of play

Ah, thank you...I should have checked their other recent games before posting.  Qunninipiac is tough; BU beating them makes our win over BU seem even better. (What's that you say? It also makes our loss to QU seem worse?  I'm not listening... **])

Any given night, polls don't matter, always give 100%, etc.  Cornell can only control how they play and they certainly played well enougt this past Saturday.

Also we were 27 in the Pairwise when ranked 16th last week.  This week while ranked 16th we are 21 in Pairwise.

Ariz St will be big.  

We might play them 3 times and with the Umass game thats a huge PWR hit one way or the other.
