I am disappointed in th forum. How many weeks into the season are we and not a single thread trumpeting one conference's dominance over the others.[FN1]. To remedy this, I simulated the first-ever College Hockey Invitational. That is, I assumed each conference was a cross-country team, each school a runner, and each school's RPI rank this week was the order in which it finished the "race." I calculated each conferences' score accordingly. The results are bellow:

For those unfamiliar, in cross country each team receives points equal to its first five runners' finish order. The team with the lowest score wins. (E.g., If team A's first five runners finish 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and team B's first five finish 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, team A has 25 points and team B has 30 points; team A wins.). [FN2]
[FN1] I didn't search the forum; this may be false. If it is, I don't care.

[FN3] I am sure I made some mistakes; I am not an excel wizard. Feel free to point them out, and I will fix them.
