Or...
192.042/122.626 = North Dakota was ~157% better than Michigan
135.339/64.039 = Minnesota was ~211% better than Holy Cross
Yes...i consider those significant differences
Point differential between the two...
192.042-122.626 = 69.416
135.339-64.039=71.3
69.416/71.3= 97.36%
100-97.36 = 2.64% variation between the two games.
Simple math and that is not significant. It's all how you spin it.

Originally posted by Tiggsy View PostYou're right. Plus the whioux have been known to choke on a larger stage more often than we have such as frozen 4 games. So adding that to the ranking would be unfair against whioux. After last year we may be closing the gap but still a bit to catch up.

Numbers, Schmumbers.
It's Holy Cross and Michigan.
Even in a down year, the level of talent that Michigan puts on the ice is going to be far, FAR superior to anything that Holy Cross can muster. And that wasn't a horrible year for them, was it?
It's an "Any Given Sunday" kinda thing when you talk about a program like Michigan. They're gonna be able to knock some people off based on who's on their roster.
Holy Cross should never have beaten that Minnesota team. Not 1 out of 10, not 1 out of 50.
The two losses are not comparable.

Frozen 4 appearances, 1-0
McN Cup, 1-0
Final 5 title, 0-1
Add that with wins against top 5 teams this year and weeks spent at #1 in the poll. No contest.

Originally posted by Tiggsy View PostThis is an excellent point. The UND North Dakotans don't really have any banners or titles except a final 5.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

Originally posted by Tiggsy View Post*sigh* I find that a little tough to buy, but there's no way I can successfully argue the point since you made the system and have all the details. I can't compete with all that inside information. I'll just say each of them probably sucked just as much for our respective teams when they happened. That makes everything equal.North Dakota

Originally posted by Fighting Sioux 23 View PostThe formula doesn't compare each game, but rather the quality of a team over the course of an entire season. In the 2010-2011 season, Michigan was much closer to North Dakota than Holy Cross was to Minnesota in 2005-2006.
Personally, an NCAA Tournament game is an NCAA Tournament game. If you lose, you go home. Now, a Regional Semifinal should be the easiest game a team plays (especially a top seed) in the NCAA Tournament, while a National Semifinal will be likely one of the most difficult. Of course, that is just generally speaking.
