Re: Midwest Regional: Minnesota State, Nebraska-Omaha, Harvard, RIT
This is probably the most well thought out comment I've ever read about college hockey. Congratulations.
I wholeheartedly agree with your second point. RIT had a down right miserable first half of the season and didn't do our conference any favors with our OOC record. I think if you would have flipped our first and second half schedules we'd be in the 20s for PWR.

If you don't acknowledge that the PWR's reliance on RPI creates a bias against individual teams within AH, then I would suggest you are either being disingenuous or don't fully understand how the rankings are formulated.
It's the same reasoning used when it is suggested that not all the NCHC teams may be as good as their PWR indicates, and fans of the NCHC just stick bananas in their ears while humming My Country Tis Of Thee.
When it is suggested that not all the teams in AH are as bad as their PWR indicates, fans of the WCHA stick bananas in their ears while either humming the Copper Country Anthem or ringing their cowbells.
That being said, RIT went 1-5 in non-conference play this year, so it is reasonable to assert that they helped to exacerbate the AH problem rather than falling victim to it.
I don't care what conference you are in, if you go 1-5 OOC your PWR is going to take a serious hit and your conference-mates are going to be cursing you.
And Harvard fans are ugly.
How's THAT for offending all corners!

) to overtime on January 3rd which seems to be where the RIT started to turn their season around (14-5-2 since)
