And I'd think they should get a "W" just for showing up...::rolleyes::

Tom, John, if you guys are willing to put me and my three thousand closest friends up for the night, we'd love to drive out to your respective venues. :-D

How about: if Harvard feels that they shouldn't have to play at Lynah, they can forfeit the game.  Yeah, we have an advantage over them but it's definitely not an unfair one.  Forfeiting ought to make them look really good in their media.

It certainly is.  But that's what makes it so much fun :-D

[jtwcornell91]

But forfeits are omitted from NCAA selection criteria calculations, so we're better off if we beat them on the ice.

[CowbellGuy]

Not if they keep losing :-D

[jtwcornell91]

It's not that bad yet; Hahvahd is 6th in the nation according to RPI and the 16th toughest opponent according to RPI's strength-of-schedule measure.  OTOH, playing UVM will lower our RPI whether we win or lose.  But that's not just a result of the new RPI formula; things are kind of screwy when you're unbeaten and untied.  For example, our KRACH is infinite right now (along with Hahvahd's and Brown's, although Hahvhahd's infinity is inifinitely smaller than Brown's ::nut:: ), so beating UVM wouldn't help that either.

[CowbellGuy]

That was a joke ::rolleyes::

[Will]

Hey, don't discuss your KRACH here, there are kids in the room! :-P

Where can I look up the current RPI, PWR, KRACH, etc. standings?  Last I checked, neither JTW's page nor USCHO has started posting them.

[CowbellGuy]

Not enough games played to compile them yet.

[Will]

Seriously, any idea when they start posting the statistical standings?

[bigred apple]

Am I the only person who is going to publicly state that I don't believe for a second that this is true?

[adamw]

USCHO begins publishing PWR usually in early January.

[cbuckser]

I'll boldly state on this forum that I agree with you, Big Red Apple.
