# 1 in the Country - DU !

I believe the "last five years" were brought up. As RHFan10 pointed out, the only results relevant to that time frame (let's go ahead and count all the way back to 04-05) would be,

10/6/2006: Miami beats Denver 5-2
3/27/2009: Miami beats Denver 4-2

Miami's record since 04-05: 143-66-25
Denver's record since 04-05: 143-71-19

That gives us win percentages of .664 (Miami) and .654 (Denver) since 04-05.

In 04-05, Denver's record was 32-9-2, while Miami's record was 15-18-5. Despite Denver's very impressive record and Miami's clearly dismal record that season, Miami still has a greater win% overall since 04-05.

If we were to disregard that season and begin with 05-06 (as the current regular season is largely complete), the numbers would be...

Miami: 128-48-20 (.704)
Denver: 111-62-17 (.628)

Regardless, it's not about the past 5 years :p ... It's about this year.

The 2009-10 season (to date):
Miami is 22-4-6 (.781) & Denver is 20-6-4 (.733).
Against common opponents, Miami is 4-0-1 (.900) & Denver is 6-2-0 (.750).

Why are the Miami University RedHawks currently #1 in the nation, above the #2 Denver University Pioneers, in both the national rankings and the PairWise? "Denver Murph SUNY Osw 79," you are the only one confused.

I love how you clowns want to talk about the last five years but fail to mention DU's National Championship or the fact that Miami pis*ed away a NC to BU.

And comparing records when DU plays in the WCHA and Miami has cupcakes scheduled every week in the CCHA is laughable.

I only brought up "the past five years" because it was brought up by others. As I said, it's about this season, not what happened 5 years ago and not what happened last year (when a 4-seed that barely made the tourney field quietly slipped into Minneapolis, took down the 1-seed that "pis*ed away" its chance to even advance to the second game, punched tickets to the F4, and came within a minute of knocking off the overall 1-seed... wait, I mean... that doesn't matter.)

No one is saying DU doesn't deserve to be where they are, and no one is discounting your past achievements. However, it is now 2010, not 2005. The question was why MU is #1 over DU right now. The 09-10 numbers speak for themselves.
 
Re: # 1 in the Country - DU !

I would agree that Miami is the best team in the country right now. Yes, the bottom half of the CCHA is weaker than the WCHA, but the Red Hawks have been more consistent all year than any other team, save for that aberrant head-scratcher series against Robert Morris. This Red Hawk teams has loads of guys that have played within mere minutes of a national title, and they know what it takes to get there.

Denver has been more up and down this year, but is starting to play with more consistency in the second half, and Saturday performances are starting to match Friday performances. This Pioneer team doesn't have a single player that's ever won an NCAA game yet - all they know are early NCAA thrashings at the hands of Wisconsin (08) and Miami (09). DU has some excellent pieces and a great coach, but there are still some hurdles to overcome to show the Pioneers belong in the same class as Miami this year.

Who gives a ****? It's not our fault that other teams in the CCHA blow. Besides we've swept Michigan (our conference rival), Notre Dame, Lake State, St. Cloud (who is in the WCHA) the first series of the season, swept Ferris at Ferris, and have had decisive if not whomping victories over the rest of teams. (Bowling Green, Ohio State, Lake Superior). We have been consistent almost all year, while DU has had it's up and downs, losing to teams like OSU 4-0 (wow ouch), as well as getting owned by Alaska-Anchorage.

We have the longest winning streak going in college hockey right now. ***knock on wood*** and we **** deserve that #1 spot.

Miami is the #1 team in the country right now. No question. And no question it's completely meaningless as well.
 
Re: # 1 in the Country - DU !

Advice to Miami people: please leave this alone, especially the history. This is meaningless. DU is a great team and for many of us our second or third favorite team (for reasons that should be obvious).

I don't understand why it's even worth arguing about. #1 in February is meaningless. Period.

(Just ask a CC or UNH fan, we have plenty of experience in that department.)

Amen- we really have no arguement to make besides being #1 in february. We have been there before, some need to act like it and get out of ****ing matches when it isn't necessary.
 
Re: # 1 in the Country - DU !

I'm curious what people really think is the big difference between #1 and #5 in a subjective poll. I mean is it really that big of a deal that Denver's #2? I'd still be thrilled if Miami was #2 instead of #1...I wouldn't be crying about it.
 
Re: # 1 in the Country - DU !

There are only two people that seemingly care about rankings in February;

1) The absurd Denver fan who began this whole circus show
2) Union for being #26

Miami may have a better record within the past 5 years, or whatever that stat was below, but I would trade that in a heartbeat, and so would the program, for even 1 of the NCAA Title banners that the Pios get to hang. Any time comparing history, Denver will win. Case closed. Lets just hope we can get a banner of our own in a couple months.
