Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #58
Michigan, Michigan State, Lake Superior State, Michigan Tech, Denver, Colorado College Minnesota, Wisconsin, North Dakota, Boston College, Boston University, Maine, Cornell, RPI are the schools who have won multiple national titles, so they are likely to be the top 14 (i would guess?...not in that order of course) I wonder who the other team will be who fills out the top 15, if it will be one of the 1 title teams (NMU, BG, or Harvard) or if it will go to a team who has yet to win a title but who has been to the tournament numerous times with multiple extended runs...

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #58
Since it's clear that many seem to read this thread well into it, a simple thing....
If you don't like the ranking, make your own.
Unless you are not paying attention to see that this is ONE PERSON'S WORK. (and a LOT of it, at that).
Also, this is ALL-TIME, not last 10 years, or 5, or this years's PWR ranking.
Just thinking about it- FS23 has done a TON of research, and thought about it. So if you don't like it, you can do it, too. It's just as meaningful to the world as mid season Polls voted by Poles.
I personally find it quite interesting. Especially knowing who did it.
There- no more about that.

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #58
To the ranking-
As I've posted before, it will be interesting to see how this plays out, based on how it appears to be calculated. And the formula will be quite interesting to read and figure out.
My gut is UM will be #1, thanks to 9 + some long term consistency.
DU vs. UND- my gut says that DU's SOS won't be as good as UND's, so UND will be 2. And the SOS issue is about who would play DU in the 60's. That's my gut, and I'm looking forward to how it comes out.
Remember low = 0.0016, mean = 18, average = 82.
Talk about top heavy.
(not that it's that much of a suprise, when you see the banners every year.)

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #58
Yale comes in at #26. The Bulldogs have been very impressive of late, posting back to back 20+ win seasons, both of which included trips to the NCAA Tournament. Yale is also having quite an impressive run this year. Given that, Yale's signature achievement to date is their 1952 Frozen Four appearance. They went another 46 years before making the tournament in '98, and then another decade to make their third appearance. Given their run so far this year, and their potential to make another Frozen Four or even a National Championship, Yale could certainly be moving up in this list. For now, they sit at #26.

Very well said. It's amazing to me that one person can put in so much work (thanks FS!) and get so much whining about the results! It seems just like the comments when Priceless has done his thread.

As someone already figured out Union was #52, or 26*2. That 2 stands for February...as in a particular date in February's lotto drawing.

No worries. I knew going into this that it's impossible to please everyone, and that I'd get flack. I anticipate there will be more the closer we get to the end.

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #58
Notre Dame winds up at #25. The Fighting Irish have been to 4 NCAA tournaments, all within the last 7 years. During that run, the Irish came within one game of a National Championship in 2008, but fell victim to the team of the decade in Boston College. Notre Dame struggled during its time in the WCHA, only winning 20+ games twice in the ten years it played in the league. Its early seasons in the CCHA were not very successful either, taking 12 years before they posted a 20+ win season. While last season was not kind to Notre Dame, Jeff Jackson has turned this program around. With more NCAA Tournament appearances on the horizon, and potentially more trips to the Frozen Four, Notre Dame is a team that could rise in these rankings. For now, they sit at #25.

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #58
I think most people understand this is one person's opinion - one based on a ****load of research and years of hard work - but still an opinion. Those who complain (seriously) only show the rest of us their ignorance/immaturity when they do so. There are only a handful of us who are willing to do the research into this, compile the data and share it publicly. This list took a whole lot of effort to compile and I hope people appreciate that. I also hope these projects encourage other people to compile their own lists using their own criteria.
