The caveat with Cornell is that they've been sitting around studying while the rest of the world has been playing hockey, so we may have to look at just how such a sweep unfolds. If BC gets an early head start but the series gets more even as it goes along, then what do we conclude from the series? So many variables, so few knowns.

The only known that matters is the Keller factor. One team has it the other doesn't. Good luck overcoming the Keller factor.

Anyone who ranks Northeastern, Mercyhurst and Minnesota-Duluth over Boston University right now can't be taken seriously.

Bemidji went from 7th to out of the poll entirely -- yikes.

Notice the relative calm of the top 6 versus the total chaos of 7-10.

Me thinks there is a LOT more chaos to come in 7-10. There should be some repositioning above that when the Ivies begin. The FUN has beGUN.
 
Re: Fun With Numbers '14-'15: USCHO Posters Poll, Pairwise What-Ifs, and Other Goodie

3. Boston College -- Pretty good game against UNH. A sweep of Cornell would move them up to 2 no matter what Wisconsin does to Bemidji, and #1 if Minny slips at all vs. ND.
Best go on record now I suppose. I'm thinking no. Not if Wisconsin takes care of business @ Bemidji. #2 with a Minnesota stumble vs. NoDak maybe. But hey...I get it. It's not unlike the PWR and it's propensity to grossly over-value wins in outcomes of east vs. east tussles.-- ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Concluded per a discussion with grandaddyscout eh!

That top 5 looks spot on. 6-10 is going to require some thought... what a mess!

Little did I know it would be this much chaos!
 
Re: Fun With Numbers '14-'15: USCHO Posters Poll, Pairwise What-Ifs, and Other Goodie

1. Minnesota -- That North Dakota game was something else
2. Boston College -- Well that was certainly what I was hoping to see.
3. Wisconsin -- Had a weekend that seemed very similar to BC's against SLU.
4. Harvard -- ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
5. Quinnipiac -- Looking pretty darn good. Gonna be fun to watch in the ECAC.
6. Mercyhurst -- Nice sweep.
7. Cornell -- Looked much better on Saturday.
8. Boston University -- Without Poutine they got burned by Maine. Yikes. Would like to know when she's returning.
9. St. Lawrence -- Big game against Clarkson Tuesday night.
10. North Dakota -- Saturday was a very bad game against Minnesota, even by typical-games-against-Minnesota standards. Yikes. I mean really, my goodness.

Tony... Mercyhurst at number 6? A 1 goal win and then tie against Maine and then split with Northeastern. Hmmm... I think they are bubble top 10.

Re: Fun With Numbers '14-'15: USCHO Posters Poll, Pairwise What-Ifs, and Other Goodie

1. Minnesota - obviously
2. Boston College - ditto
3. Wisconsin
4. Harvard
5. Quinnipiac - too many goals... who is this team?

6-10 is one big guess. I can't find a CHA team I like, and I'm losing confidence in everything out west except for the top 2

6. Cornell - not ready to punish them for losing their first games of the year against the #2 team in the country
7. Boston University - not ready to punish them for losing without their capitaine
8. St Lawrence - they played BC close... they get credit for that on top of blowing out some teams
9. Yale - can't be sure, but opening weekend was dominant
10. Vermont - welcome to the top 10... beat NoDak and some solid wins
