Top 5 overrated teams this year..

Re: Top 5 overrated teams this year..

Sioux would have a better record if they could hold a lead and not have 4 extras against them on the ice during some times (not saying it doesn't go the other way).

Wait, wait. A Sioux fan complaining about the refs? Now I've seen everything!
 
Re: Top 5 overrated teams this year..

1.) Cornell : difference between poll and RPI = 12 (43rd SOS ?? ouch)
2.) UND : difference between poll and RPI = 7
3.) Yale : difference between poll and RPI = 7
4.) UML : difference between poll and RPI = 7
5.) Notre Dame : difference between poll and RPI = 6
 
Re: Top 5 overrated teams this year..

Here are my votes, simply comparing USCHO ranking against RPI rating. ECAC teams appear most overrated.
Interesting to note that other than UMLowell, the HE teams in or near top 20 are the most underrated.


Top 5 Team Rank (12/14) RPI (as of 12/22) Difference
1 Cornell 4 16 +12
2 NorthDakota 6 13 +7
3 Yale 9 15 +6
4 UMassLowell 13 19 +6
5 NotreDame 20 26 +6
and just below top 5:
6 Alaska 17 21 +4

Today is the only day poles are not overated.

I still want to know what's wrong with Poles.

I love the Gabby Johnson reference in your profile.
"Now who can argue with that!"

American International is over rated.

Can I ask a logistical question here? And it's rhetorical, too, since the answer's fairly blatant.

Who starts a "top 5 overrated teams this year" thread and then names three teams? Why isn't it a "top 3 overrated teams this year" thread? Was this numbskull just lazy or was he pretty sure there were 5 top overrated teams and he couldn't think of the other two?
 
Re: Top 5 overrated teams this year..

i dont think anyone is saying BC is overrated anymore. but i guess the upcoming Denver Cup will be their chance to prove themselves to their doubters

hey, they have reason, they are, after all, by far the most penalized team in the WCHA. so, either they are a bunch of Canadian hacks and thugs, or the refs are really unfair. take your pick. either way, their fans sure do whine a lot.
