BI6 vs NACHO fight to recommence in 3...2...1... GO
 
Re: pairwise -- post jan 8th

Don't forget UMD is hovering at 17 despite being at .500. Gonna be fascinating to see what happens if they finally start scoring consistently and put together some wins. If they do that they probably can get their RPI up and get into the tournament.

UMD is what St. Cloud was last year. If they can win two more games than they lose the rest of the way they'll be in.
 
Re: pairwise -- post jan 8th

Sorry if you re hoping for a fight, but they are in completely different weight classes. Big6 would need a ref in the middle for protection to get any kind of punch off...:p

I mean 50% of their conference could be in the tournament by next Friday. Maybe the Nacho's should get some punches in now, before things even out (since one more team for the BI6 gives them the same 1/3 of the conference in the tourni you guys would
 
Re: pairwise -- post jan 8th

Why am I arguing for the Bi6? Come on Michigoon fans, this is your time...

Gopher fans can keep hiding under the trailer, till you're ahead of Ped State in the PWR I think its probably the best place for you

For this team that feels like a much tougher task than it should be.

17t Penn State (Bi6)
17t Minnesota State (WCHA)
21 Robert Morris (AHC)

WCHA: 1
AHC: 1
Bi6: 1
ECAC: 4
NACHO: 4
HE: 5

Hockey East holds 5/8 of the 2 and 3 seeds. Bi6 continue to prove superior as they might get a second team into the tournament:p. If things stay the way they are Cornell and Dartmouth would be losing spots probably due to the weird ivy scheduling things.

Beanpot teams group pretty tight going into the Beanpot, only one team missings...
 
Re: pairwise -- post jan 8th

The four bottom ECAC teams are going to get chewed up in conference play the next few weeks. I think the conference will be lucky to get three teams in after it all shakes out. Actually too much parity

It will be interesting to see if Yale, Dartmouth, RPI and Cornell can keep up or most fall back to the pack because of parity?

Re: pairwise -- post jan 8th

Is there anyone out there that can help me?
I have been using Air Force as my test case because it comes 1st alphabetically and doesn't have any negative impact wins.
I cannot for the life of me, verify how to determine a team's Opp Opp Win% based on this page:
http://siouxsports.com/hockey/rankings/rpidetails.php?teamid=27

Weighted Win% on the top (0.5954) is based on Weighted Win dived by Weighted GP in the completed contests data

Opp Win% on the top (0.4475) is based on sumproduct of Weighted GP and Win% vs others divided by sum of Weighted GP

I would assume that Opp Opp Win% on the top (0.4721) would be sumproduct of Weighted GP and Opp' Win% divided by sum of Weighted GP but that doesn't work?
Is it a rounding error?

Help!

I had my own project the last couple years working on the women's PWR so I've been on this same journey.

I haven't done any for men's, but could it be that OOW% shouldn't be weighted games played but just regular games played? Fortunately I don't have that issue in women's.

Re: pairwise -- post jan 8th

Question for the group, in a home and home weekend series, which do you think would be more valuable to a team's RPI a Home Win/Road Tie or a Home Tie/Road Win?
