Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1-#59

:p:D:D I apologize to everyone that has been waiting...exam period is almost over (tomorrow). I had a little bit of free time this afternoon so...

Coming in at #42...

Air Force - 6.316 Points

The Falcons went a strong 17-13-7 in 2012-2013, and added nearly one quarter of a point to their total. Unfortunately for Air Force they drop two spots due to Quinnipiac's run, and Princeton's rise thanks to a Yale national title. That being said, Air Force has been on a very good run of late, and if they keep that up, the Falcons are poised to move back up the rankings.

Princeton - 6.9437 Points

Despite a rough season going 10-16-5, the Tigers gained over 1.5 points, thanks to a storied history with the new national champion Yale Bulldogs. Their improvement was enough to keep them in the #41 spot despite getting leapfrogged by Quinnipiac. The jump may be temporary though if the Tigers don't get back to their winning ways.

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1-#59

I'd love to see a + or - whatever number they rose or fell. Why? Because I'm lazy. :)

Interesting that Princeton is the first ECAC team on here, and that the ECAC is the last of the conferences to have a team on this list...

The ECAC has probably been the most "well-rounded" conference over the past couple of decades. Since the split with Hockey East, 10 of the 12 teams have finished 1st, 9 of the 12 have finished last (or tied for last), and every team has been in the top 2 and 11 of the 12 have finished in the bottom 2 (Only Quinnipiac has avoided that distinction, and of course they've only been in the conference for a handful of years). Consequently, the ECAC teams generally are ranked in the middle of the overall rankings.

"The Greatest Programs of All Times"[!!] Was this written in dead seriousness rather than-tongue-in cheek? It would strike most people as a provincial if not grandiose title.

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1-#59

Coming in at #31...

St. Cloud State - 21.1894

The Huskies had their program's best season to date, winning the MacNaughton Cup for the first time, and also making their first trip to the Frozen Four. SCSU gained just under 7.5 points this season, and if they continue this success, look for the Huskies to keep moving up the rankings. Last season, SCSU was ranked #33.

Coming in at #32...

Brown - 20.6818 Points

The Bears had their first winning season in nearly a decade, and coupled with Yale's national title, Brown gained just over 2 points. Brown should be a team on the rise next season, so the Bears could see themselves moving up the list if they continue to have quality seasons like this past campaign. Last season, Brown was ranked #30.

Coming in at #33...

Ohio State - 18.5065 Points

The Buckeyes finished in the top four of the CCHA, and finished with a 16-17-7 record. OSU added just over 1 point to their total. With a new coach at the helm, the Buckeyes will look to repeat the success that they had under John Markell when they made the NCAA Tournament 6 times in a 12 year stretch. Last season, Ohio State was ranked #31.

Coming in at #34...

Vermont - 16.4983 Points

The Catamounts struggled to an 11-19-6 record, but just barely squeaked into the Hockey East Playoffs. Vermont added roughly a 1/2 point to their totals this season, and will look to recapture the magic from 2009 when they nearly made it to the National Championship game. Last season, Vermont was ranked #32.

Coming in at #35...

Massachusetts-Lowell - 14.4537 Points

Similar to SCSU, the Riverhawks had arguably their greatest season in program history. Lowell won the Hockey East Regular Season and Tournament Championships, along with the program's first Frozen Four birth. Expectations will only go up from here, and if the Riverhawks can keep this streak going, they should keep climbing the ranks. Lowell was ranked #37 last season.

Coming in at #36...

Bemidji State - 12.2673 Points

The Beavers struggled to a 6-22-8 record, and an 11th spot finish in the WCHA this past season. As a result, the Beavers lost nearly 1/10 of a point. BSU will look for better success in the revamped WCHA. Last season, Bemidji State was ranked #34.

Coming in at #37...

Union - 11.6362 Points

The Dutchmen had another tremendous season, capturing the ECAC Tournament Title, making the NCAA Tournament and knocking off defending national champion Boston College. Unfortunately for Union, they did not have a very good record against Yale historically, which hurt them in the overall rankings. However, if Union can continue the pace that they are on, expect the Dutchmen to rise in the rankings. Last season, Union was ranked #35.

Coming in at #38...

RIT - 9.6441 Points

The Tigers had a disappointing campaign, going 15-18-5 on the season. Next season, RIT will look to regain the form that they had from just a few years ago that had them in contention for the Atlantic Hockey title, and also led them to the Frozen Four. Last season, RIT was ranked #36.

Coming in at #39...

Niagara - 8.1791 Points

The Purple Eagles had a tremendous campaign last season, going 23-10-5 en route to the Atlantic Hockey Regular Season title, and an NCAA Tournament appearance. If the Purple Eagles can continue this play in the next few seasons, they have the opportunity to rise a few spots in the rankings, as this season Niagara added nearly 1.5 points to their totals. Last season, Niagara was ranked #39.

Coming in at #40...

Western Michigan - 7.6937 Points

The Broncos had a disappointing end to their season, where they finished third in the CCHA with a 19-11-8 overall record. As a result, the Broncos added nearly 1/2 of a point to their totals. If the Broncos can continue their strong play, look for Western to move back up the rankings in the future. Last season, Western Michigan was ranked #38.

Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1-#59

After you're done with this list, can you reverse the results of the national championship? You've mentioned several times that ECAC programs improved because Yale won the title...I'm curious how AHA teams would have improved if former member Quinnipiac had won...

I can't promise anything, but I'll try. It takes quite some time on my end to switch those around. It probably won't happen until after the top 100 tournament is done though. Remind me over in that thread when we get a winner, and I'll do my best to go back through and switch the data. My best guess is that it won't have too much change on the AHA teams, as Quinnipiac was only in the AHA for two seasons (although they were in the MAAC with basically the same teams for five seasons prior to the AHA). The biggest change will be for the ECAC teams that lose all those Yale games.

OK. No big deal. Was just curious. If it's a hassle to change results then don't bother. It's a relatively quick calculation in my decade results, but I don't do measurements vs NCAA champions; it's vs top 10 so there's usually more leeway if one result changes.
