Robert Morris ranks #56th. The Colonials are at a pretty big disadvantage have such a short history. That being said, they are having a very solid year this year, and could potentially make the NCAA Tournament. That could send RMU up the ranks a bit by the end of the year. For now though, they are still in the bottom three.

#56 Robert Morris - .0245
#57 Canisius - .0205
#58 American International - .0061
 
Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #58

since this is all time, how did you treat the schools with the most history, more seasons, and pre-ncaa? How those things are valued will have a huge effect.

This is a good summer topic. It's February, and a game-day at that. Who cares.

Obviously the schools with the most history have an advantage. Percentages play a part as well to help even things out to an extent, but, as you said, this is all-time, so schools with a longer history should get some sort of advantage. So long as they have a strong history anyway.

Initially, my goal was to have this ready the Summer of '09. However, once I got started, it became clear that it was going to take a LOT longer than that. My next goal was Summer of '10, but that obviously didn't happen either. I just finished this up this week, and I wanted to talk about it. :)

If you don't care, I understand, and won't take offense. The thread should be pretty easily searchable this summer if you want to look through it then. You also won't have to wait for teams to be unveiled as they'll all be out by then.

Thanks for doing this. I loved what Priceless did last summer. I'm a Denver fan and I think we ended up#5. I expect we'll be right up there again, maybe even higher! :rolleyes:
 
Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #58

Shouldn't the title be #58 - #1? :)

had to get that in before somebody else did.

American International is one of 8 programs that have yet to reach the NCAA Tournament. The Yellow Jackets have not tested themselves much either, playing only 4 games against programs that have won an NCAA Championship, going 0-3-1. Perhaps if they play a more difficult schedule, generate some victories and make a trip to the NCAA Tournament, they could move up on the list. As for now...they are at the bottom.

#58 American International - .0061 points

They must have lost points for never having jerseys for sale. :cool:

Coming in at #55 is the Bentley University Falcons. Continuing the trend, the Falcons have never been to the NCAA Tournament. They have however, had a strong impact on who goes to the NCAA Tournament. The "Bentley Rule" was put into place after Atlantic Hockey nearly put two squads into the NCAA Tournament in 2006. That year, Bentley and Holy Cross played for the right to go to the NCAA Tournament. However, had Bentley won they would have become an instant TUC, which would have resulted in Holy Cross vaulting to a #3 seed. Unfortunately for the Falcons, Holy Cross won the game, and took the lone spot as the AQ for the conference. Holy Cross would go on to register one of the biggest upsets in NCAA Hockey history, while Bentley would finish 55th in this ranking.

#55 Bentley - .0279 points
#56 Robert Morris - .0245 points
#57 Canisius - .0205 points
#58 American International - .0061 points
