Finally it looks like they agree.

[Dafatone]

I appreciate that the top six teams have the same ranking as number of losses.

[Robb]

Well, this will be an interesting test case.  Assuming that today's ASU/Brown game doesn't somehow cost us more than .0033 in RPI, we'll be #1 in PWR when this week's ballots are submitted.  We sure didn't pick up any style points, though (dropped to 3rd in KRACH) so I think we'll learn something about how many voters (if any) just vote straight PWR.

[The Rancor]

i predict 2/3rd place in polls. fine with that.

[Swampy]

I really only care that we're #1 on April 12.

RV = Received Votes

[Trotsky]

Exactly tied for #1 in USCHO.

[RichH]

Exactly tied for #1 in USCHO.

With four more first-place votes.

[Trotsky]

Exactly tied for #1 in USCHO.

With four more first-place votes.

Which means somebody shivved us to third or lower.

Assuming 20 points for first place, we are 44 points short of perfect distributed among 29 ballots.

x + 2y = 44
x + y = 29

(29 - y) + 2y = 44
y = 15
x = 14

21 first place votes
14 second place votes
15 third place votes

Is one way to do it.  Of course, somebody who hates us, the Ivies, the ECAC and/or the East might have sent us even lower.

My favorite:

21 first place
28 second place
1 seventeenth

More likely:
