Thank you for the explanation. I had heard that you had to be over .500 to be a TUC, but I never knew the background / history. Much appreciated.

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #58
And rounding out the teams that have never made the NCAA Tournament, is Army. The Black Knights were ranked as the best program to not appear in an NCAA Tournament (D-1 of course). Army has a long history, which obviously helped its case. FWIW, the formula kicked out the rankings like this, and I never had a preset intention to rank the non-NCAA Tourney teams at the bottom.
#51 Army - 1.3604 points
#52 Union - 0.6174 points
#53 UConn - 0.1921 Points
#54 Sacred Heart - 0.1703 Points
#55 Bentley - .0279 points
#56 Robert Morris - .0245 points
#57 Canisius - .0205 points
#58 American International - .0061 points
So we've reached the Top 50...#50 will be revealed shortly.

Maybe #18, but likely not. I'm sure the top 17 will be reserved for the teams that have actually won national championships.

Coming in at #50 is the UAH Chargers. UAH, the southernmost college hockey program, has plenty of history and tradition over the last 20+ years. They managed to make the NCAA Tournament twice, in 2007 and 2010. In 2007 they pushed #1 Notre Dame to the brink, losing in 2OT. The Chargers have their work cut out for them in the future. They are currently looking for a conference to play in, but when they find one, expect the Chargers to be more than a bottom dweller.

The Mavericks are one of a few teams that has a D-1 History that doesn't stretch too long. Mankato though, has made an NCAA Tournament, and as many WCHA foes know, they are very difficult to play against. Playing against so many former champions in the WCHA has allowed Minnesota State to pick up 75 victories against former NCAA Champions. If they can string together more seasons like '03, they'll be moving up this list in the future. For now though, the Mavs are #49.

You are thinking of Omaha. But yes, Omaha has had opportunities to play plenty of games against Northern, LSSU, MSU, Bowling Green and Michigan.

I revoke my prediction. If Union gets beat out by Alabama, YLae(*) can't be any higher then 15.

The Mavericks made their lone appearance in the NCAA Tournament in 2006, but that looks to change this year. Of the teams in the bottom 1/3 of this ranking, the Mavericks had the best winning percentage against former NCAA Champions (42.7%). If the Mavericks make a run in the NCAA Tournament they will most likely move up this offseason. For now, they are #48.

Alaska comes in at #47. They are a program on the rise, after last year's run to the NCAA Tournament...their first in program history. Before last year, they would not have cracked the top 50. The Nanooks have nearly a 30% winning percentage against teams in the NCAA Tournament.

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #58
Exactly. I mean that exact thing happened to RIT this year after losing @ AIC in December.
Oh wait. No. They just got ****ed and haven't lost an AHA game since. Culminating in clinching Atlantic Hockey tonight.

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #58
The UMass Minutemen made the most of their one NCAA Tournament appearance in 2007, knocking off #1 seed Clarkson in overtime before falling to Maine in the Quarterfinals. Since joining Hockey East, UMass has struggled, putting up only one 20+ win season (2007). However, they play a quality schedule every season, and if they can put together more 20+ win seasons, I would anticipate them moving up the list.

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1 - #58
Yeeooww!
That hurts.
Can't argue, though. We just flat-out ain't been around long enough. We got off to a bang up start as a program, though:
It might be forgotten that UNO was actually fairly successful pretty quickly. Some highlights:
* Beat both Denver and Maine in the Mavericks' inaugural season (1997-1998).
* A surprise run to the championship game in the program's first season of CCHA play (1999-2000).
* 24 wins in 2000-2001, the program's first winning season.
* Climbed as high as No. 5 in the polls (in 2001-2002).
* After some doldrums from 2002-2004 (21-48-10), a bounce-back season of 19-16-4 in 2004-2005, which netted Mike Kemp CCHA coach-of-the-year honors.
* Continued improvement in 2005-2006 leading to the program's first NCAA tournament bid.
* 131 consecutive sellouts at the Civic Auditorium (capacity 8,124), UNO's home ice for the first six years.
* Five first or second-team All-American selections by three players (Greg Zanon, Jeff Hoggan, Scott Parse) in the first 12 years of the program
Alas, Mike Kemp personified the Peter Principle. After the NCAA appearance, things went downhill. The Mavs didn't build on that success and went 50-52-20 over Kemp's final three seasons.
Thanks for the kind words we did get. Our lot in life is improving rapidly.
