The Top 25 College Hockey Teams of the NCAA Era

I'll add that there is a dominance portion to the formula as well that seemed to be overlooked. .... The Spartans piled up points by beating a lot of NCAA Tournament teams, and beating them convincingly.

I know you said you'd answer questions about specific teams after the complete list has been unveiled, and so I'll make this a more general question....

If a team wins three regular season games against teams that made the NCAA tournament, does it make any difference in your formula whether it is the same team three times or whether it is three different teams once each?

It can. If Team A beats Team B (.800 win %) three times, it will be better than if Team A beat Team C (.800), Team D(.700) and Team E (.700). Working the other way around, it would be better to beat Teams C, D, and E once each than to beat Team F (.700) three times. The main reason behind this is due to the SOS component of the Conference Strength.

I think a breakdown of how many Canadians it took to reach such a prestigeous level of superiority should be tallied.. Currently 11 on the Sioux roster (thats gotta be the most in the NCAA, or close)..

Just curious, what did the Sioux fans think of the boo'ing of the US team during the WJ's, confusion? Sing along with "goodbye" or turn cheek?

And what team logo will be plagiarized next by UND? How about the Fighting Canucks, that would be perfectly fitting.. You could make the ND intertwined exactly like Notre Dame, and use the Canucks NHL logo.. That may last for another 30yrs until someone notices eh..

pffft, upset over what? a fkn nuck hack job trying to talk **** about the Gophs?

Let me slow this down for you and the hack, ANY program can plagiarize a school logo, bring in a bunch of Nucks and Minnesotans, rewrap em and call it their own. Good luck with the new logo, i'm sure it wont take long to find a new one, theres plenty out there to choose from..

No need to slow it down officer. I know what you are trying to say.

Are you implying that you were unaware of the similarities? Or the "influence" Notre Dame had on the Fighting Canucks moniker? I realize Wiki is as about as reliable as the Sioux are at supporting the growth of Hockey in ND (those kids must be amped to have the opportunity to play for such a powerhouse team, well atleast 1 had the opportunity recently).. But here goes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Dakota_Fighting_Sioux

You say that like its a bad thing. As a Cornellian, I'm proud of the talent we have drawn from Canada over the years. Currently we have 13 Canadians on our squad. I mean we also recruit all over the US (I seriously doubt anyone has more gulf coast players than our current four). But don't act like you not having Canadians on your team makes you any better than the rest of the College Hockey world. In fact I'm more impressed when a school can convince Canadian recruits to skip Major Junior and come the NCAA route.

For those following this thread, #9 was scheduled to be released today. Unfortunately, my grandfather passed away on Friday, and I am currently away from my computer. As a result, #9 will be delayed. I will post here when it will be released, along with a revised schedule for the rest of the top 10 squads.
