The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #60

Unlikely, but beating RPI should give them a bump compared to the rest of the basement

I was not trying to be entirely facetious. But, the Sun Devils ended up ranked 44th in the PWR this past season, with a 8-19-3 record against Div 1 teams (for some reason USCHO gives them an additional two wins against Div 3 SNHU for a 10-19-3 record in the overall Div 1 standings). Those eight wins included upsets over ranked Air Force and Quinnipiac teams, besides six wins against fellow bottom feeders (Colgate, RPI, UNH, AIC, UMass(2)); five of their eight wins were on the road, including Quinnipiac. At the end of last season they had accumulated 0.0114 points, but Bentley and AIC have only accumulated 0.05806 and 0.06851 points, respectively, in over two decades of Div 1 play.

Big question is whether Sun Devils accumulated enough points this season to lift themselves out of the basement.

If Blitz from the Atlantic Hockey thread does not step up, I can cover the 11 AHC teams, as I saw all of them play this past season.

That would be a huge help. I'll pencil you in for the Atlantic Hockey teams. All that leaves is the Big Ten conference. Any takers?

Assuming I get timely volunteers, there is a decent chance. Still need volunteers to do the Big Ten and Atlantic Hockey program season summaries (i.e. 2-3 sentences about each program's 2016-2017 season and maybe a sentence about their 2017-2018 prospects).

Question:
Is this a raw accumulation of scoring points,
or,
Is this per annum (i.e. total accumulated points / years of DI program)?

The original thread contains a lot more detail, but to answer your question, it is closest to a raw accumulation of scoring points. There is no division by number of games/years a program has played.

I'm almost done with doing the triple-double check of the information. Thus far, I've found 2 errors that were updated: (1) Wisconsin's NCAA Tournament W-L-T Record updated to 40-23-2 (increase win total by 1, decrease loss total by 1); and (2) Massachusetts Lowell's NCAA Tournament W-L-T Record updated to 7-7-1 (pre-2017 NCAA Tournament; decrease win total by 1, increase loss total by 1). As a result, Wisconsin's and Lowell's point total increases from 2015-2016 will be a bit different than they otherwise would have.

For the volunteers who will be drafting the season summaries, please prepare the summaries for your teams by the following deadlines:

For teams ranked #60-51 last season, please prepare by May 1, 2017;
For teams ranked #50-41 last season, please prepare by May 15, 2017;
For teams ranked #40-31 last season, please prepare by May 29, 2017;
For teams ranked #30-21 last season, please prepare by June 12, 2017;
For teams ranked #20-11 last season, please prepare by June 26, 2017; and
For teams ranked #10-1 last season, please prepare by July 10, 2017.

For example, if you were to prepare the B1G teams, you would have Penn State ready by May 1, 2017; Ohio State ready by May 29, 2017; and Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Michigan State ready by July 10, 2017.

For ease of access, here are the rankings from the end of 2015-2016:

1. North Dakota
2. Michigan
3. Minnesota
4. Boston College
5. Boston University
6. Denver
7. Wisconsin
8. Michigan State
9. Maine
10. Michigan Tech
11. Cornell
12. Lake Superior State
13. Colorado College
14. Harvard
15. Clarkson
16. Minnesota Duluth
17. RPI
18. New Hampshire
19. Providence
20. Bowling Green
21. Northern Michigan
22. Yale
23. St. Lawrence
24. Union
25. Miami
26. Quinnipiac
27. Notre Dame
28. Dartmouth
29. Ferris State
30. Colgate
31. St. Cloud State
32. Northeastern
33. Brown
34. UMASS Lowell
35. Ohio State
36. Vermont
37. Bemidji State
38. RIT
39. Nebraska Omaha
40. Mankato
41. Western Michigan
42. Niagara
43. Princeton
44. Air Force
45. Alaska Anchorage
46. Merrimack
47. Holy Cross
48. Mercyhurst
49. Alaska
50. UMASS
51. Alabama Huntsville
52. Robert Morris
53. Army
54. Canisius
55. UCONN
56. Penn State
57. Sacred Heart
58. American International
59. Bentley
60. Arizona State

Thus far, I have the following volunteers:
ECAC - drshoen
Hockey East - UML Puck Hawk
NCHC - SFIS
WCHA - gfmorris/Shirtless Guy

That means I still need volunteers for the Big Ten and Atlantic Hockey.
