Re: ECAC Pick The Standings 2018-2019
Because this wasn't posted until after two games had been played, you're not eligible to win and your entry was not included in The Fan Average, but I will post your score from week to week.<hr>Here are the final statistics for all on-time human entries to the contest (not including the Random Number and Mr. Last Year; n=43):
Code:
Team | Mean±SD | Median(Range) |
---------------------------------------
Cornell | 1.6±1.1 | 1 ( 1- 6) |
Princeton | 2.7±1.6 | 2 ( 1- 9) |
Union | 3.6±1.6 | 3 ( 1- 7) |
Clarkson | 3.8±1.6 | 4 ( 1- 9) |
Harvard | 5.0±1.6 | 5 ( 2- 9) |
Quinnipiac | 6.4±1.5 | 7 ( 2- 9) |
Yale | 6.9±1.6 | 7 ( 3- 9) |
Dartmouth | 7.2±1.7 | 8 ( 3-10) |
Colgate | 8.8±1.8 | 9 ( 4-12) |
RPI | 10.6±1.9 | 11 ( 1-12) |
Brown | 10.7±1.0 | 11 ( 8-12) |
SLU | 10.7±1.4 | 11 ( 5-12) |
The highest consensus around any team was
Brown, though
Cornell received the most votes for a single position (28 votes, 1st). As always,
RPI has the highest standard deviation, though if we ignore my annual delusion,
Colgate would have the title.
Yale has the fewest votes for its modal position (10 votes, 8th).
As with last year, no team was picked for every position, and no position had every team chosen at least once.
The Coaches and the Fan Average were in very tight agreement, with only SLU-Brown and Yale-Quinnipiac swapped. Of actual posters to the board,
drshoen,
Kepler, and
TovarishchLisa were the closest to the average. Also I didn't notice until just now but
sgt12 and
TBRW made identical entries. At the other end, the
Random Number was unsurprisingly the furthest away from the average.
ColSkate65 holds that honor for USCHO posters.

The season started and
I AM VINDICATED! Okay, we're only four games in and there is still about 97% of the league schedule left to play, but based on all the evidence, RPI is going to go 22-0 in-conference and I'm the smartest. At the other end of the table is
Mike Hutter, but again, a lot of hockey left to play. Here are your first real standings:

Because half the league hasn't played an ECAC contest yet, I had to invent a bunch of tiebreakers. First was ECAC games played, then overall win percentage and overall games played, and finally shot differential (because both non-RPI-Union-ECAC games were decided by one goal). None of this will matter in five months, but here we are for now.
