A look at our NC opponents' recent form (last 5 games not against Cornell) and PWR:

11 right now, a whisker ahead of Vermont. I think we flip the SLU comp with a win. So let's win.

[RichH]

Still interesting: with Quinnipiac falling to #24 after their loss to us, Cornell has still yet to register any Quality Win Bonus. The only other team in the top 40 without a Quality Win is UNH (31).

[RichH]

Up four spots to #15 in the 1/16/17 USCHO poll. ECAC teams sit at 6, 9, 15, 16, 17.

Gotta admire Guy Gadowsky's work -- in four years he's taken a relatively new program to the top spot as of this week.

[Jim Hyla]

Here they are.

Are you sure you're using a consistent numbering system for the seasons?  Shouldn't this be "2017"?

Bringing it up because 2002-03 was a much better year than 03-04!

Shouldn't this be "2017"?

Yes.

Also, according to this, since 2010, 27 points in-conference was enough to guarantee a first-round bye, and >7 games above .500 overall was enough to guarantee an at-large bid.  A 7-6 finish in the ECAC would get us to 27 points and a .500 finish (incl. ECAC tournament) would keep us at 7 games over .500.  However, the ECAC is very top-heavy this year and the latter statistic doesn't really reflect the effect of ties on the PWR.

[Trotsky]

Also, according to this, since 2010, 26 points in-conference was enough to guarantee a first-round bye, and >7 games above .500 overall was enough to guarantee an at-large bid.  The latter statistic doesn't account for the effect of ties on the PWR, however.

Here's the link to pts by seed.  We'd need 27 points post-2010 (the 5th place team in 2015 had 26).

As you point out, the NC$$ is a different breed of cat.
