2015 USCHO Posters Poll -- 2nd Half

This is only true if you have an incorrect idea of what a predictor is. Predictors identify probabilities (or, more accurately, probability distributions, though in the case of an event with a binary outcome like single game they amount to the same thing), not certainties. There are very definitely useful predictors for the outcome of the playoffs but that doesn't mean you should bet your house based upon them.

Re: 2015 USCHO Posters Poll -- 2nd Half

Traditional haiku for the top ten:

1. BC
BC in the west plays
Cupcake poor they would be
Undefeated not

2. Minnesota
Targets on their backs
Complacent play can be had
Dangerous they are

3. Wisconsin
Cardinal and white
Glory days return so close
Nightmare's shade maroon

4. Harvard
Crimson shining bright
Eagle horror though they had
Ego still intact

5. Quinnipaic
Cats from the northeast
Defense is their calling card
Shut you down they will

6. UMD
Miller-less ahead
Will not be easy to play
Dynasty on hold

7. BU
Rollercoaster red
Never quite sure which will show
Maple leafs they trust

8. UND
Whioux are they you ask
A rising nameless terror
Might be what you see

9. Clarkson
Respect they have earned
Experience though lacking
Playoffs oh not them

10. St Lawrence
Feisty they can be
Modern day knights skates and sticks
You best bring your best

Re: 2015 USCHO Posters Poll -- 2nd Half

My revised standings

1. Boston College Impressive tonight in every facet except scoring and still they win
2. Minnesota Of coarse maybe they should be #1
3. Wisconsin They are playing like a #1 team
4. Harvard Do they deserve this spot after losing to Princeton? Well they lay a 9 spot on BU so I guess yes.
5. Quinnipiac You can't beat Harvard so you don't deserve to be higher than Harvard
6. Minnesota-Duluth Maybe they should be #4 but then they go and lose and tie UND
7. Cornell IMHO they could be the #1 team in the ECAC but then again needs OT to defeat Colgate 3-2 after trailing 2-0 after 2
8. North Dakota This weekend shows that they deserve some consideration
9. Boston University The jeckel and hyde season continues after getting blown out by Hahvad 9-2
10. Clarkson Shuts out SLU 2-0 so they get #10

Re: 2015 USCHO Posters Poll -- 2nd Half

I don't get why people are dropping BC. IMO, they could lose to Harvard next week, and the Eagles are likely still No. 1, even if UM gets out of Grand Forks unscathed. Dull and boring wins are still wins.

I agree. They are one scarey team. Tonight was the first time I was able to see them play. They can really throw the puck around. NE goalie played really well but BC also had I would guess 7 or 8 shots that had her beat if they were on net.

If you're ranking the teams by their actual results I've always thought that you don't penalize a team for winning. But then again if you're ranking using different criteria, such as "which team would likely win if they were to play each other tomorrow" then strength of schedule and margin of victory come more into play. I tend to go with the former, which is why I've left BC at No. 1 since early in the season.
 
Re: 2015 USCHO Posters Poll -- 2nd Half

BC played much better tonight despite the score. Makes me feel better about keeping them #1. I was going to drop them after the PC game until Minnesota got the tie.

This has tightened up a lot. There aren't any indisputable choices except at #1.
