Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #58

I find it amusing that the top 4 ECAC teams were all #s 13-16. Of course, I'm very upset that the safety school in Potsdam beat out Rensselaer, but I think I can live with it.

Top 10:
10 - Colorado College
9 - Michigan State
8 - Maine
7 - Wisconsin
6 - Boston College
5 - Boston University
4 - Minnesota
3 - North Dakota
2 - Denver
1 - Michigan

Sorry, couldn't resist. :D

Michigan Tech finishes at #11. The Huskies have made 10 trips to the NCAA Tournament, all of which resulted in Frozen Four appearances. They managed 3 Championships, coming in 1962, 1965 and 1975. They also played for the title in 1956, 1960, 1974 and 1976. Unfortunately for Michigan Tech, their luck seemed to run out after legendary coach John MacInnes retired. The program has not reached the NCAA Tournament since 1981 and have only 2 winning seasons since returning to the WCHA in 1984. Michigan Tech has a lot of great history, but if they are unable to turn their program around, they will likely continue falling on this list. For now, they sit at #11.

#11 Michigan Tech - 156.0076 Points
#12 Lake Superior State - 153.5872 Points
#13 Cornell - 152.4499 Points
#14 Clarkson - 124.5689 Points
#15 Harvard - 118.8879 Points
#16 Rensselaer - 98.2167 Points
#17 Bowling Green - 79.7674 Points
#18 Northern Michigan - 79.3272 Points
#19 New Hampshire - 77.4096 Points
#20 Minnesota Duluth - 66.5522 Points

"10 NCAA appearances, all of which have resulted in frozen four appearances".... not saying much since for 9 of their 10 appearances only 4 teams made the tournament, and in the 10th only 6 teams made it....I realize it says a lot that they were one of the few teams that made those smaller tournaments but when you're talking about the road to the championship, LSSU's runs in 8 and 12 team tournaments wins out, not to mention they were more recent and include the biggest margin of victory in an NCAA hockey title game in 50 years, with all things in the championship and ncaa appearance categories being equal, plus the fact that Tech has 2 winning seasons in the last 30 years, I'm inclined to think LSSU should come out on top

All I have to say is make your own rankings and then post your formula when you are done.

Wow... that's putting a lot of weight on things that have no place on an "all-time" list. Marginalizing earlier results in order to favor a team whose results are more recent... recent, of course, meaning a team whose best years ended FIFTEEN years ago... would have no place here.

The gap between the two is small... think of a real reason LSSU should beat Tech, and try again.

LSSU uses two primary colors while Tech uses one.
 
Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #58

While I have to say that I currently consider MTU to be very much in the lower rankings....all-time as a whole they deserve to be up there. Like FS23 said, they'll continue to fall with each bad season.

And to use an age-old argument, back in the day when only 4 made the tourney, there is assumably higher talent (due to less programs), and therefore equally as tough, if not tougher, to make said tourney. In other words, the more programs there are, the more diluted the talent available for a team.

15 years ago is more recent than 30 plus years ago is it not??? I realize the following would not necessarily figure into a mathematical formula so i guess the argument that this thread may not be the ideal place to debate this is valid, but better competition, more dominating teams, better players to come out of said "dynasty"...If you would like to message me I will gladly chat with anyone and everyone who wants to respectfully discuss the merits of LSSU vs. MTU as it relates to their pace in the annals of college hockey

Everyone's been respectful here. I'm not messaging you. Go nuts right here. I am actually anxious to hear it and have no preset opinion on your Upper Peninsula measuring contest.

However, you're 2 posts in to making a main argument that doesn't work on an "all-time" thread supported by unquantifiable opinion. My hope for you dims.

Clever. Swapping 10 periods for 10 closed parentheses doesn't throw me off of your scent. You're suspect.
