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

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

#8 – MICHIGAN STATE SPARTANS

Points: 233.36015 Points
Points earned in 2015-2016 -0.6559 Points
Points earned in past five seasons: -0.00444 Points
Last Season Ranking: #8

The Spartans have fared about the same as Maine for the past four seasons, with three of them sub-.500 records, after their last trip to the national tournament in 2012. They also had their worst year of the past four in ’15-‘16, going 10-23-4. It will be a challenge to get back on track – they lose 8 seniors and one junior, and bring in nine freshmen.
 
Big jump in points. Especially compared to the last 5-6 which could pass each other easily in a real good season. So even with Brady Hoke at the helm you're still safe.
 
Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1-#59

As for defunct programs only two would make any kind of dent in this listing even approaching the top half. Wayne State is the only one with an NCAA tournament appearance and that is only enough to pass no more than 15 programs I would think. The one that I think could fall in the middle would be St. Louis. They had very solid teams during their short tenure and a bunch of league and conference tournament titles in the CCHA. The only other school that played the sport long enough and had a few ups would be Penn but they would have trouble getting out of the bottom 10.

#7 – WISCONSIN BADGERS

Points: 343.62654 Points
Points earned in 2015-2016 -0.9742 Points
Points earned in past five seasons: 4.05144 Points
Last Season Ranking: #7

The Badgers reached new lows in program history the past two seasons, going 4-26-5 in ’14-’15 and 8-19-8 in ’15-’16, the worst performances in Wisconsin history in 50 years. The result was a complete overhaul of the coaching staff. With only eight games against last year’s ranked teams, and a new coach, there is a great deal of optimism that the program will return to a winning record this season.

UW going to be # 7. But 4, 5,and 6 are going to be real close for DU, BC, BU.
Then Evil Gophers at 3, that team up north at 2 and Sioux #1.
 
Re: The Greatest Programs of All-Time: #1-#59

#6 – DENVER PIONEERS

Points: 365.76799 Points
Points earned in 2015-2016 5.2500 Points
Points earned in past five seasons: 25.14219 Points
Last Season Ranking: #6

The Pioneers’ 25 win season was the 15th in a row at 20+ wins, the longest active streak in the NCAA, and put them in the Frozen Four for the first time since 2005. Even though they lost several key players, DU has a lot returning and what looks like a strong freshman class. Look for them to be in the mix again this season.

The natives in east landfill are restless too, at least the two who care about hockey. The fans won't even refer to their head coach by name. They simply refer to him as tCHHCoMSU (the Current Head Coach of michigan state university). Personally I love it.

Uh, you're in DePere, WI. Pretty sure that is further north than Ann Arbor. Heck, Madison is a little north of Ann Arbor, albeit minimally.

I also do not see any reference to tosu (or the university of ohio state as that clown Pryor said at his announcement) in your post or profile. ohio state people are basically the only "people" to use that term.

Michigan has only won 3 titles since Ginsberg's Howl was published in 1956. It's like reading about the Civil War.

Just because your feeble-mind can't handle anything related to academia that doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Michigan grads consider those ancient titles of theirs academia?

Speaking of academics, what did you think of Howl when you checked it out on Google? :)

UND has to make up a little more than 35 points on Michigan. Providence got 30 points in their national title year last year, and Michigan made the NCAAs and won a game this year so they will score some points. While UND will make up a lot of ground, netting 35+ points more than Michigan this year is a tall order. I'll be surprised if the top 2 change places.

A couple of years ago I think FS23 said that Union's 45 points earned in their championship season was the highest single season total to date. In addition to the national championship, Union also won the ECAC regular season title and the playoff title that year.

Providence did neither of those in their championship run. UND won the Penrose last year, but busted out of the NCHC tournament. It seems obvious that UND's total will be somewhere between 30 and 45, my personal guess is about 40. I don't think that will be enough to surpass Michigan, but it will be close. After all, DU earned only about 5 points last year and they made the Frozen Four.
