2023 ECAC Permutations

How in the did Alaska get so high?  They've been splitting pairs against such luminaries as LIU and ASU all season.

Did they find an exploit in the algorithm?

They have played 11 home games and 21 road games. Which makes sense because who wants to go there. But as I've ranted about, road wins are 1.5x better than home wins and road losses are 66% as bad as home losses.

If you play lots of road games and have a generally good season, you're in great shape.

So basically they found a loophole. Need to tweak that formula this off-season.

the loophole is "being in exile"

Where do you see splitting pairs with those teams?

Alaska swept all 4 meetings with Arizona State. And have swept every other lesser opponent.

Their splits are against Omaha, Denver and Notre Dame.  So there you go

I must have rad it wrong, I thought I saw them splitting all their LIU and UAA games.

i see a win and a tie against AIC, a win and an OT loss on the road v. St. Thomas and a 3-1 record vs LIU. Also, 6-0 vs UAA but two wins were in OT. https://www.uscho.com/scoreboard/alaska/mens-hockey/2022-2023/
