Hurry, get the KRACH posted while we're the only undefeated and untied team left in the country!  (BSU is 6-0-1, having beaten and tied NMU)

Ideally, he doesn't need to rush on this.  Let's hope he has at least a couple of weeks to get around to it.

Nah, ideal is 37-0-0 giving him all the time in the world to post it.

Yep, now the diagram is linear (since teams like UConn also lost).  I could almost do a regular KRACH except we would be infinite, Harvard would be zero, and Dartmouth would be zero-squared.

I like the rating Cornell gets (and it's actually pictured) currently on CHN:

Note that in the Bayesian KRACH, equivalent to two fictitious games, we're 8th.

The team with the #1 strength of schedule is... Robert Morris? ::shifty::

They've played 7-0-1 Bemidji State (twice), 6-1-1 Alaska (Fairbanks), 6-1 Quinnipiac (twice), and 7-3 Ferris State (twice).  Their only game against an opponent with a losing record was one game against 4-6 Alaska-Anchorage.  So, yeah.  Their only CHA games so far have been against BSU, who have the best non-perfect record in the country.

Oh I wasn't doubting the data, just pointing it out.

I also liked the rating Harvard gets. ::moon::

Seems odd that losing to 3-0 Cornell and 4-2-3 Colgate would do that to them.  I suspect that their real crime is only having beaten 0-3 Dartmouth - as soon as Dartmouth wins a game, Harvard will shoot up the rankings.

[ebilmes]

How do we not have the worst strength of schedule? We've played the #56, #57, and #58 teams (out of 58!).

Yeah, that's all determined by the bubbles in the protokrach diagram.  Harvard is infinitely better than Dartmouth and infinitely worse than everyone else.  (So if you like Dartmouth's rating is 0 times 0.)

I believe SOS is based on the winning percentages of the entire season's schedule, not just those we've already played.  I could be wrong, though.

You are wrong. :-} It's just the games played.  (It's literally calculated as KRACH divided by winning ratio, which happens to equal a weighted average of you're opponents' KRACHes.)
