I have a prestigious MIAC education. My parents told me the only public education Iam getting is from Edina high screw. Champ
So then why aren't the ECAC schools getting pro talent?

Because at ECAC schools you actually have to study and stuff. At B1G schools, like Minnesota, people just take the tests and write the papers for you.

Study is an understatement. At RPI, our entire team had a 3.5 GPA in the first semester with 6 of our kids getting a perfect 4.0. Of course, we're in last place! If there is an academic Frozen Four, we would be a lock.

Re: Big 10 HC Rules
We're following the RPI model just mentioned. Timmay is getting accolades up here because he has raised the team GPA from the low 2's to the mid 3's. And like RPI, they know which end of a pencil to use, but have no clue which end of a hockey stick to use.

Re: Big 10 HC Rules
Interesting...although a 13-10-5 record in an extremely strong WCHA that year isn't all that bad (and closer to .600 than .500).

Re: Big 10 HC Rules
True, but with around 16 non-conference games, B1G teams can really roll up Pairwise comparisons if they do well outside the conference.

Re: Big 10 HC Rules
This is certainly true, but my point was the likelihood of a team going 14-0-0 (or 16-0-0) in non-conference, only to lay an egg in conference play is highly unlikely. My guess is if Team X is very good out of conference, they will likely be very good in conference.

Two programs no longer exists. Air Force & UNO were far worse than today. Schedule 16 cupcakes and take your chances you don't slip up.
The year DU went 10-0-0 the nonconference opponents were:

Even to this day I still can't believe DU won the national title.

Re: Big 10 HC Rules
The thing though, is that DU was still a very good team that year...they did happen to win a national championship after all. Moreover, they were a top 4 team in a very difficult conference. It's not like they were 4-24-0 in conference play and only got in based on their non-conference record. You're proving my point...if you run the table in non-conference play, you're usually pretty good in conference play.
Also, it does not appear that the B1G is going the route of cupcakes.

Re: Big 10 HC Rules
Yeah, the out of conference schedule looks to be difficult which is why many recruits ultimately will decide on a Big Ten school. ;p

Probably will be the same recruits that would have normally attended a B1G School regardless.
