Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1-#59
The weird thing about Bentley is that they're actually one of the better teams in Atlantic Hockey. But since they can't seem to win in the postseason (or, apparently, notch quality wins during the regular season), they are in the basement of these rankings.

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1-#59
I actually moved here for two reasons: (1) my wife is from here and has family here, and (2) I came here for grad school.
They certainly have been playing better over the last few years. My guess is if they keep that up they'll add some conference hardware and a trip to the NCAA Tournament to their resume. If they do that, they'll move up the list.
58 is up next...

#58 - American International Yellow Jackets
Overall Points: 0.0691
Difference from last season: + 0.0317 (#48)
Points over past 5 years: +0.063 (#56)
Outlook
Despite back to back 25 loss seasons (and 117 in the past 5), the Yellow Jackets improved their lot in these rankings over the past 5 years thanks to a couple of new champions in Yale and Providence. However, AIC will need to turn their program around significantly if they wish to continue to add points to their totals. If the Yellow Jackets continue on their current trend, they will likely find their way back to the cellar of these rankings.

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1-#59
seems like this should be a whole new thread? or we'll just keep this one going for ages and ages and ages. As it is, poor yellow jackets. at least Bentley seems to be going in a decent direction.

Not what the numbers indicate, from which the Yellow Jackets outperformed the Falcons both last year and over the past five years for any metrics that count in FS23's analysis.
Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1-#59
Strange, since Bentley has had a better record every single one of those years. I assume there are some older wins-against-national-champions that are pulling the AIC numbers up.

This is exactly what is going on. AICs long history benefitted them tremendously when Yale and PC won titles.
Maine has hardware, like Yale and Union now have hardware; apparently AIC beat both of these teams at some point, which apparently counts for something in FS23's algorithms. Bentley has never played UNH, so what is your point?

#57 - Sacred Heart Pioneers
Overall Points: 0.1600
Difference from last season: - 0.0064 (#53)
Points over past 5 years: - 0.0103 (#59)
Outlook
One of just two teams to have actually lost points over the last 5 years (thanks to a 39-126-19 record), the Pioneers did manage their best record in the past half decade this past season, but it still was not enough to gain points in these rankings. Sacred Heart returns the bulk of their top producers from a season ago, so the Pioneers will look to add more tallies to the win column next season. If they do that, they should reverse the current trend. However, unless it is coupled with conference hardware and/or a trip to the NCAA Tournament, Sacred Heart will likely continue to dwell in the bottom 5 of these rankings.

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1-#59
Uh, they own a 6-4 win against us--in Omaha--on 10-11-13 (which the UNO press guide erroneously says was played on 10-11-14).
A game where I unfortunately had to sit in my seat and endure it. Bentley scored twice on the PP in this game (well, one being an extra attacker goal on a delayed penalty) and had 2 (TWO!) shorties to go with it (and an empty-netter).
It was UNO's first season opening loss in 7 seasons.
Honestly, this was one of the more shocking losses by UNO I have ever witnessed. Not exactly Massa's finest hour, this one. The only good thing that probably came out of this game is that it featured the first collegiate goal by Austin Ortega, he who now owns the all time NCAA record for game winning goals in a single season.

#56 - Penn State Nittany Lions
Overall Points: 0.1918
Difference from last season: + 0.1329 (#41)
Points over past 5 years: + 0.1918 (#55)
Outlook
Penn State has made quite the impressive start to their program history, jumping out of the cellar and up the #56 in just three seasons. Playing in the Big Ten should prove beneficial to the Nittany Lions in these rankings as they will consistently face strong opposition (at least from a historical point of view). PSU took advantage of a relatively weak conference this season in piling up 18 victories, and those in Happy Valley will only look for greater things from this program. My guess is the Nittany Lions will be out of the bottom-5 in the near future.

Denver or Colorado Springs area, by any chance?
Mrs. Red Cows lived near Colorado Springs (pre-me in her life) and lost her home in the Hayman fire in 2002. She worked in Denver and commuted. The house she lived in prior to the one she lost in the Hayman fire burned in the Black Forest fire in 2013.
I make very sure our smoke detectors are in good working order on a regular basis.

Right between the two in Castle Rock. That was an intense summer in 2013. We had bags loaded up in the car ready to evacuate a few different times. Fortunately we avoided the fires.
As for the 2002 fire, my in-laws lost some property up in the mountains. Here's to hoping no such issues this summer.
