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) [slack.net]

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.

[siouxsports.com]

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.

Another site with those rankings and several others [www.rpihockey.net].

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?

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 [siouxsports.com] and [www.rpihockey.net] 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.

II wonder if one of them incorporated the game we now have played against RIT and the other didn't.

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.

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.

two against Robert Morris (in the same boat they are)

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.

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?

I think that the distinction is that RMU is a D-I school in all sports while RIT is a D-III school playing D-I hockey.

Yeah, ursa - I think we understand WHAT the distinction is, just not WHY that should be a distinction.

D-III schools haven't been properly blessed by the NCAA heirarchy.

some interesting tidbits I noticed.
LSSU and Cornell have no common opponents. hopefully this will go CUs way when LSSU play mich state at the end of the year. they would need to take no more than 1 point.
hahvahd and SLU(T) can be flipped with wins in the ECAC, especially over them
uvm has some tough games ahead...
fsu losing to mich state would be helpful
and of course the big red winning out would be quite helpful. it is early and not every team is connected by common opponents so that should change things.
gonna be interesting.
now to find a home game to which i can go

Winning out would be 14 + 4 = 18 games! Man, I'll just take a sweep this weekend...

Bit early to be talking about winning out, isn't it?

No, winning out would be 14 + 4 + 4 = 22 games. National Champions, baby! (But I know what you were getting at...)

Edit: Twice in one day. I really should stop posting at work. *shakes head sadly*

Huh, I would've figured JDeafv would've made the analogous joke about binary by now.
