RV = Received Votes


[ugarte]

OUr RPI on USCHO is over 1.200. Is that even possible? Road win bonus at Clarkson and Michigan State, I guess?

a) a multiplier based on indexing our SAT scores vs. the norm
b) it's the system
c) The Russians Ukrainians hacked in
c1) I thought I typed the R-word, but somehow that's not what's appearing

[andyw2100]

Still second in USCHO poll.

https://www.uscho.com/rankings/d-i-mens-poll/

We actually lost a couple of first place votes.

Still second in USCHO poll.

https://www.uscho.com/rankings/d-i-mens-poll/

We actually lost a couple of first place votes.

But our vote total went up slightly (948 to 954).

If things keep going as they are, expect North Dakota to be even more of a magnet for voters, not just due to the pedigree, but perceived conference strength. And honestly, probably deserved. The only blemishes on their record (1 loss and 2 ties) have been from Mankato and Denver, both top-5 teams.

If I was Harvard I'd be pretty pissed off.

[Beeeej]

If I was Harvard I'd be pretty pissed off.

So would I, but it wouldn't have anything to do with the USCHO poll. They've been steadily moving up in the poll for weeks and they've barely played anybody good.

In a way it's Harvard's own fault. So far, all 6 of its games have been ECAC. Q (2-3-1, 6-6-1) is the highest-ranked team it's played.

Compare this to Clarkson, which is 5-1 in conference and 10-3-1 overall, with wins over teams like Wisconsin (#6 at the time) and Michigan. Deserved or not, showing you can go toe-to-toe against teams with strong reputations establishes some cred. Similarly, Cornell's sweep of MSU won us some respect, especially now that MSU is showing it's not a pushover.

Pushover or not... those wins will really help us in the end-of-year PWR.  Especially if we get 2+ points from Northern Michigan.

(1) You can only beat who you have in front of you.  (2) They're not just winning they're winning big.

In any case, Lynah East will sort it all out, for a time.

[upprdeck]

we have BU, the 2 Vegas games, and NM left.. do no worse than 3-2 and hopefully no worse than 4-1 and our OC schedule will look pretty solid

[andyw2100]

Still at number two in the USA Today Poll too, but tied in number of first place votes with Minnesota State (17 each), and just out of first on total points (491 vs. 494.)

We got close!

Dartmouth currently #16 per CHN's PWR rating, who Harvard beat in their first game. (I know, ranking vs rating.)

[French Rage]

If NMU could split or sweep against Mankato, it would doubly help us, pushing up NMU as an opponent and helping us gain/get ahead of Mankato.
