After tonight's ECAC results, Clarkson's RPI now stands at .4997. *sigh* [/Q]

Can Clarkson's RPI move up without them playing? (ie depending on outcome of other games?)

[Robb]

Yes - your RPI depends on your opponents' records in all games, not just the ones they play before you hit the golf course...:-D

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

Just for the record, there are still a couple of comparisons we can flip:

North Dakota:  They pretty much need to lose tonight and we need to keep winning.  Then we can flip RPI - there's only 0.0004 between us - and take the comparison.

Wisconsin:  If we play SLU next week, we can get a COP win and flip that comparison.

All the others strike me as out of reach.

For those that care, the great circle distance from Ithaca to:

Grand Forks 931nm - For comparison, Orlando is only 876nm
Green Bay   521nm
Worcester   204nm
Albany      118nm

All distances are in nautical miles and to/from the airport.

So, what have we learned?  Even flying, Grand Forks is still pretty frakkin' far away! :-P :-D

[jaybert]

pffft..and the fact that there is no real airport in grand forks....so you have to fly into another city then drive

Dang.  This optics jock thought those were nanometers.  

The Quantum Regionals!

[Robb]

Pretty ironic that they don't have a real airport, considering that they have such a strong aviation program at UND...

Well, actually I wasn't. Was there for QU and was watching the UHN game from my dorm lounge. But sorry, I'll never make that mistake again

[Ack]

So we've got the UND Fighting Infrareds (NCAA can't get too mad at that, can they?), Green Bay is about right, and that leaves New York and Mass. as ultra-blue states....  **] **] **]

With Niagra's loss in the CHA title game today:

RPI:
31     Clarkson     .4997  
32    Niagara    .4982    
33    Quinnipiac    .4934    


A combined 7-1 against them

< sigh >

[nyc94]

But Niagara has a quality road win at UHN, good for at least .003

[TCHL8842]

Can we pull Clarkson RPI up enough if we win the ECACs to make them a TUC.  RPI is based on 25% winning percentage, 50% opponent winning percentage, and 25% opponent-opponent winning percentage.  Since we have played Clarkson 4 times, we might be able to pull them up the 0.0003 points to make them a TUC.

[DeltaOne81]

Apparently USCHO considers that neutral. But it was at the Whitt. Anyone know why?
