Re: How to improve the Pairwise
Originally posted by Shirtless Guy View PostQWB really isn't in the RPI calc with it being 25/21/51. Here are the most valuable teams to beat for this season with adjusted RPI rank in paranthesis (before adding QWB):
(1) Quinnipiac
(8) Harvard
(10) Boston University
(4) Providence
(6) Denver
(14) Minnesota-Duluth
(7) Michigan
(2) St. Cloud State
(5) Boston College
(12) Notre Dame
(13) Northeastern
(17) Minnesota
(3) North Dakota
(16) Cornell
(18) Robert Morris
(23) Minnesota State
(11) Yale
(9) Mass.-Lowell
(15) Michigan Tech
(22) Dartmouth
Missing 19, 20, 21
I really do like the idea of giving QWB to road teams getting a positive results against the top 20 home RPI teams...
I like/understand what the QWB is trying to achieve; but, I really, really dislike the QWB in practice. And if you split the comparisons into a separate road RPI, there should not be the need for it.

I mean, you don't. Unless you can somehow invent teleportation.

Originally posted by Shirtless Guy View PostThats fine if true, and maybe this isn't as big a problem anymore directly because WCHA is at 8-10 possible NC games now because of Alaska exemptions.
NCHC 24/10
B1G 20/14 (currently, have to see if that continues with ND moving)
HEA 24/10
WCHA 28/6-10
ECAC 22/12 (non-ivy)
ECAC 22/7 (ivy)
AHA 28/6
I guess maybe the direct number of games isn't the problem...its the East/West distribution...
League - Games vs other half of country/Total NC games (%)
B1G - 47/89 (0.528)
NCHC - 39/84 (0.464)
AHA - 26/66 (0.394)
HEA - 50/131 (0.382)
ECAC - 26/108 (0.241)
WCHA - 16/71 (0.225)
ECAC and WCHA need to play more...Last edited by davyd83; 03-24-2016, 12:22 PM.

Re: How to improve the Pairwise
Originally posted by davyd83 View PostOther than the WCHA and AHA, the rest play 24 or fewer conference games. If the WCHA were to cut 4 games off their conference slate, it would push more into having to accept more 2-for-1 offers from the Michigan's and 1-for-nones from the North Dakotas & Penn States of the college hockey world. It's already tough enough for the WCHA to fill 6-8 non conference games with equal home and road dates.
