I consider that UMD and Wisconsin have a much tougher schedule than Minnesota so perhaps it will be a different story WCHA playoffs.

UMD's schedule is tougher. The differences in Wisconsin's schedule are: the Badgers played UNH at home while the Gophers played in Durham; Wisconsin played Lindenwood while Minnesota played St. Lawrence and Colgate; the head-to-head meetings, where obviously a team doesn't play itself. I'm not sure what your point is, but in the case of UW, it is built on a flawed premise.

Beanpot turns out to be of more interest to the national picture each week. Begs the following trivia question. Was there ever a time in the past when three of the top four ranked teams in the Nation were in the same tournament about six weeks prior to season's end.? Looking to ARM for the answer ?.

P.S. League/Conference final four events do not count in this tally.

Based on your PS, then it would have to be the Beanpot in the NCAA era, because I don't know that anyone else plays a tournament within six weeks of the NCAAs. If you allowed conference tournaments, I'd suspect that it has happened multiple times at the ECAC Tournament.

The answer would be a big fat No, as there are no games between the two sets to make any valid mathematical comparisons.

The above is an answer to the question, "could the top 5 d3 beat the bottom 5 D1 teams?" With RIT's 11 - 10 - 3 overall record thus far this year, I think that the top 2 or 3 D3 teams could beat the bottom D1 teams.

Tough call, but I think you are right, depending on how you define "the bottom D1 teams". Lindenwood, Penn State, for sure would struggle to beat the best D3 teams. It's a shame that we no longer have any inter-div games. If both divs can play against Canandian college teams why not play the odd game against each other? Always a risk of embarrasment for the D1 teams, I suppose, but also an opportunity to chock up a W in a long dry season.

The win wouldn't count in any meaningful way for the D1 team unless you are proposing that they somehow help them for NCAA selection, which I think would be a really bad idea. So there's a risk of embarrassment without any real upside.

In the past, when there were a few D1/D3 matchups it was mostly the bottom D1 teams that were involved, so NCAA selection was irrelevant. For the bottom D1 teams it was just an opportunity for a rare win, but I agree the downside of the embarrasment was probably more than the upside of a win, which maybe explains why we don't see these games anymore. I remember a few years back when Elmira was a D3 powerhouse and Cornell was a very weak D1 team and despite the fact that they were just down the road from each other they never played.

Thank you for the update! Just curious if prior year record has any affect on the ranking at this point in the season. I'm a little surprised that Cornell comes in at number two.

Well, the rankings are VERY close. You basically have 1, t2, t2, t2, t2, t6, t6, t6, t6, t6. Wild.

The difference between 1 and t2 is astronomical, order of magnitude, 3.17 vs 1.46 or lower. Lakersfan can probably comment much better on the significance of that delta.

If Minnesota were to play Cornell in a playoff game (no ties), the probability that Minnesota would win is 95.6%. If the NCAA tournament was held today, I would estiamte the probability of Minnesota winning at around 88%. The difference between Minnesota and Cornell is roughly the same as the difference between Cornell (#2) and Providence (#18).
