Division I Rutter Rankings for 2012-2013

Re: Division I Rutter Rankings for 2012-2013

KRACH also Cornell at No. 2 so I doubt the prior matters much. And Cornell is just a whisker behind Harvard and a smidgen behind BC in the RPI.
 
Re: Division I Rutter Rankings for 2012-2013

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).

Thanks LakerFan.....Have you ever seen this much separation between number one and the rest of the pack this late in the season with the rutter ?.

An even better question....Has there ever been a team in D1 that went undefeated ?.
(I know Plattsburgh did it one year in D3, circa 2005/2006 if memory serves me correctly. Their undefeated record did include a couple of ties.)

No. The 2006-07 Badgers came closest with a 36-1-4 record, with the only loss coming against UMD over Thanksgiving weekend in Madison. The ties came against Minnesota at home, at UMD, and twice at St. Cloud State.

The record for most wins is 37, set by the 2010-11 Badgers (37-2-2).

There have been undefeated D1 teams in the pre-WCHA era.

The '87-'88 Northeastern Huskies went 26-0-1 :D - NU Doghouse.

Hux and ARM touched on this topic a week or so ago regarding UNH's streak which spanned 4 undefeated seasons and ended in the 2nd game of the '81-'82 season (DC82 was a senior on that team :))

'80-'81 UNH 21-0
'79-'80 UNH 20-0
'78-'79 UNH 16-0-1
'77-'78 UNH 15-0

http://www.uscho.com/stats/history/new-hampshire/womens-hockey/2012-2013/

As ARM noted, not all of the games back then were against D1 competition so it's hard to compare with the current era. UNH used to play a fair number of games against the better Canadian schools as well and those counted as D1 wins and losses (note this was this case on the men's side also). All of the schools did it back then if you care to check the record books.

This link shows the actual games and dates, season by season, in the UNH Media Guide (not sure if this link will work or not...but I know ARM will check it out :D)

I already looked at the UNH Media Guide when Hux first brought the Wildcats' streak up; when one's personal familiarity with the game doesn't extend too far into the previous century, resource documents come in handy. :)

I have a great documentation of our early results. Kathy Kazmaier (Patty's sister, and one of our goaltenders in my era) painted a Wildcat head on a puck for each senior in my class with our name on it, and the record over our 4 years. Mine reads 76 - 1 -1. Both the tie and the loss were to Providence, thus our rivalry.

The tie in 78 - 79 was against the Waltham Wings, then a power house club team in the Assabet league. They had quite a few players who went on to a college career, and those who did not were certainly capable of raising the bar had they played in college.
 
Re: Division I Rutter Rankings for 2012-2013

Winning that many games in a row is an incredible accomplishment, I don't care WHO you are playing against.

This season has had a couple of interesting stroylines. The first is the Minnesota being undefeated and seeing how high their rating would go. The other is how different these rankings are from the final RPI and PWR ranks. Can't complain too much, since Mercyhurst made the final 8 while by my rankings suggest they should have been replaced by Wisconsin.

Maybe there should be a special NCAA rule that disqualifies a team from participating in the NCAA tournament if they lose 3 times to RMU, call it the personal pride rule. Sort of like the time that Notre Dame declined an invitation to a bowl game after an embarrassing season. All kidding aside the MC schedule was a joke, 3 loses to RMU, 12 games against Lindenwood, Penn State, and RIT. Someone explain again the criticism of the WCHA teams that played LW twice.

At the same time, I saw Wisconsin play six times this year and if that was one of the eight best teams in the country then it really has been a down season for women's hockey.

Looks like another extremely challenging path to the CHA Championship for MercyHurst. Hope they can survive!

I just want to thank you for your kind wishes of hope. We certainly couldn't have done it without your positive energy and goodwill. It's so great to see such wonderful sportsmanship on this board...... or NOT!
