Rpi ratings etc.

Where does one go, this year, to find the computers rankings? Thanks.

Actually, I just tossed this up last night (which means it might not be bullet-proof; please email jtw24 with problems) http://slack.net/~whelan/tbrw/tbrw.cgi?rankings.diy

Other sites have less-geeky, more-friendly versions of assorted rankings as well.

This site has RPI, PWR, KRACH Rankings that get updated to the minute.

Also in the PWR rankings if you click on the school it will show all the comparisons for that school by which ones they won or lost.

ursusminor · January 05, 2006, 04:27:06 PM

Another site with those rankings and several others http://www.rpihockey.net/misc.rank1.shtml.

If I read the PWR right, Niagara becoming a TUC and improving our TUC record will only flip the Harvard comparison. Otherwise, we still lose our loses due to a poor RPI and common opponents.

BTW, we should be thankful our game against RIT doesn't count, since even a win would almost certainly hurt our RPI.

Pardon?

He said, "we should be thankful our game against RIT doesn't count" :-)

(I think it's been mentioned before, but as a new DI team RIT is serving a two-year probationary period of some sort, and will not be eligible for the NCAA tournament until 2007-08. Ineligible teams are not counted in the RPI/PWR rankings.)

I noticed this morning that http://siouxsports.com/hockey/rankings/pwr.php and http://www.rpihockey.net/misc.rank1.shtml have vastly different rankings for Cornell. I wonder if one of them incorporated the game we now have played against RIT and the other didn't. From reading on here, I understand the game will not be included in the pairwise computation due to RIT not playing the requisite number of D-I games.

Both seem to think we're 9-3-2 (a .714 percentage), which is the record discounting the RIT game.

It looks like the RPI on the North Dakota page has not been adjusted for quality wins even though there are columns where this could be taken into account. Note that there are two RPI columns and they are identical.

Actually, I think they play enough games, they're just on probation because it's their first year in D1.

KeithK · January 08, 2006, 08:30:55 PM

O count 25 DI games on RIT's schedule, plus two against Robert Morris (in the same boat they are) and DIII games against Oswego, Fredonia and Geneseo. Twenty is the minimum, so they meet that standard.

jtwcornell91 · January 08, 2006, 10:55:40 PM

[quote KeithK]two against Robert Morris (in the same boat they are)[/quote]

Actually, I think RMU is in a different boat. They were already D1, but had no varsity hockey team, while RIT already had a hockey team, but were D3. So RIT has probation and RMU does not.

KeithK · January 09, 2006, 03:35:31 AM

That distinction doesn't really make sense to me. I would think starting a program is the same thing whether you're moving up from DIII or starting from scratch. but who says NC$$ ruls have to make sense?
