Re: # 1 in the Country - DU !
I'm curious...do you TRY to be this stupid?! Do you actually think that Miami's scheduling team hasn't tried to set up weekends with the powerhouses??? I don't have firsthand knowledge which he has contacted, but I can tell you the fans have been absolutely begging for these matchups for years. For you to say that we haven't really been tested because we haven't beaten Wisconsin is beyond asinine.
Also, WBAD, why do you assume that Miami had to be playing great hockey to beat UNH and St. Cloud (who you say were playing poorly). We played them when we played them and, regardless, we beat them.

Re: # 1 in the Country - DU !
why do you feel the need to respond to this?? those big western state schools stay home and invite cupcakes out to play in their holiday tournaments, at home, and invite in some other teams that won't require a return trip. they'll pepper in a big name and offer them a first round cupcake to hopefully meet in the finals, but otherwise they use their OOC games to generate ticket revenue and wins.
yes, that's you bucky (merrimack, ylae, ferris this year // harvard, lssu, uah last year) and the gophs.
that's their right to schedule whomever they want. but they are full of **** to came back and belittle your schedule.
you guys had jan brady come in, traveled to uhn, then went to sioux for their tourney (and took on bemidji in the first game while they played niagara). don't ever feel the need to apoligize.

Re: # 1 in the Country - DU !
In an effort to get this post back to being somewhat more civilized, can someone help me understand the RPI better? Here is where both teams are today:
1 Miami 24 1 22-4-6 .7812 1 .5891*
2 Denver 23 2 20-6-4 .7333 2 .5861*
Both teams have asterics to note that wins over weaker opponents don't reduce their RPI. Am I right, that it means that strength of schedule isn't being taken to account in these wins?

DU has been steadily gaining on Miami in the RPI in the past couple of weekends. Its possible that DU could pass Miami in RPI & PWR without the Redhawks losing a game. DU also needs Minnesota to come back from the TUC cliff and bring those 4 wins into play to help out the Pairwise.
DU has the best record in the country since New Year's Day 9-1-2.
The asterisk means that both Miami & DU have wins against opponents that would lower their RPI, so those games are removed from the formula. If you want to see how every teams' Strength of Schedule stacks up check out KRACH. DU is #6, Miami is #16.

I don't see DU passing Miami before the conference tourney time unless we loss a couple in the next two weekends. UNO and OSU are better for the numbers than Tech and Mankato.
As Priceless even mentioned in the bracketology thread, Miami could have been swept by BG and still had #1.
Oh, and 9-2-1 since New Years isn't too shabby either

Re: # 1 in the Country - DU !
While that is true, UNO is closer to being a TUC than Tech or Mankato. So beating UNO twice doesn't give Miami a big enough boost. Playing BG and Western in the last month is the reason their RPI has dropped. No biggie, if Miami is #1 in the PWR or #2 in the PWR or even #3 or #4 they are going to be in Ft. Wayne and to me thats all that matters. Yes a game against RIT would be nice but if you play someone else it isn't the end of the world.
