Women's DI Rankings/Polls 2012-2013

Re: Women's DI Rankings/Polls 2012-2013

Interesting only 3 WCHA Teams in the top 10 (1, 9, 10), ECAC (2, 4, 6), Hockey East (3,7,8) and Mercyhurst 5th.

The Poll for October 29:

Team (First Place Votes) Record Points Last Poll
1 Minnesota (15) 10- 0-0 150 1
2 Cornell 4- 1-0 129 2
3 Boston University 7- 1-0 119 3
4 Clarkson 7- 1-0 105 4
5 Mercyhurst 8- 1-1 92 5
6 Harvard 2- 0-0 54 9
7 Northeastern 5- 1-1 53 7
8 Boston College 2- 3-0 45 6
9 North Dakota 4- 4-0 33 8
10 Ohio State 7- 3-0 20 NR
Others receiving votes: Wisconsin 12, Minnesota-Duluth 11, Providence 1, St. Lawrence 1.

I'd love to hear the logic for why BC is so far ahead of OSU. It must be along the lines of, "I think they should be better on paper, so they are ranked higher." I don't see it supported by results to date.

This seems to make a lot more sense, but I don't think BC at 18 is accurate either. You do have to seriously question the ranking of them at 8th though when they have lost to their only ranked opponant and split 4 games against un ranked opponants.

Anyone know why Minnesota is absent from the Pairwise Rankings? It certainly makes the record vs. TUC look better for Ohio State and North Dakota.

Eastern bias. Something must be set up wrong, but we showed up a couple of weeks ago, so I'm not sure how it would be screwed up again. It should be the top 12 teams in the RPI, and we show as tied for 1st in USCHO's version of that, so who knows. If it is still wrong in another month I'll mention it to support folks, but given that some of the Ivies have only played two games, it's a little early to look too closely at the PWR.

Mentioned last week after the BU loss, that if Clarky would split at UND they may move up to third, and voila, there they are. :)

Surprised to see OHIO and UND swap places. Would think that splitting with a team ranked well above you is not grounds to lose a spot to a team that swept a non ranked team. The OHIO getting some love from the voters. (deservedly so IMHO)

I was wondering too why UND moves down while Clarkson moves up, right after the two teams split.

Isn’t that how it works. After two competitive losses to the unanimous number one team in the country they dropped one spot so it’s only natural that they drop when they split with the 4th ranked team. Makes perfect sense.

My guess is that it is because the team above Clarkson went 0-1-1 while the one below UND went 2-0. If one compares the resumes of UND and OSU: both were swept by UM, UND had the closer games, but was also at home; both swept SCSU, again, OSU had to travel; they split head to head and the Buckeyes had the edge in location; UND was 2-2 versus Clarkson and MSU; Ohio State swept Lindenwood, UMD, and BSU. I think the sweep of UMD is the result that lifts the Buckeyes over the former Sioux, at least for the time being.

Maybe too early, ARM, yet seems our ECAC Boston based Ivy often carries, tots (freebie) a-goal-a-game in national playoffs (its the PRESTIGE, stupid...) (not u). Once/were they to make it out of the conference, Harvard is loaded. k K K Katey, u might get your chance in '13.

Cornell has been loaded yet hasn't got it done. HAS NOT! Fact. All you fans far above Cayuga's waters, you-will-need-to-take-it-up-a-notch (AT LEAST, a goal a game...), breathe- and win, vis a vis, 'The West'!

So far...u a disappointment to us (nationally) when p. comes to s.

I was wondering why, after being swept by SLU, why SLU gets a vote, and on the heels of a 5 game losing streak, UNH gets 2 any?

there's no USA Hockey poll this week?

I haven't seen one all season. When I tried looking directly on USA Today one week, I couldn't find it on that site.

DC....You are underselling the Wildcats. Should be obvious to you. SLU sweeping those mighty Wildcats will garner some votes. :D

More seriously.....SLU's set of past opponents and their rankings have a lot to do with it. All their past opponents they lost to, swept last weekend (except Clarky, but they moved up anyways), so that tends to improve your stock as well, as long as you do the same.

Take a peek, it's been here all season, including links to all previous weeks, but for some reason there isn't one this week.

I get an "F" in "looking". Maybe they figured that since so many of the ranked teams had a bye this week they would take one as well. Either that, or Katey Stone is one of the voters and she didn't get her vote in because 4 Nations.

Odd numbering schemes as well:

Women's Oct 30 poll is "Week 6", while Men's Nov 5th poll is "Week 5". (BTW Women's "Week 5" is Oct 23).

The women's season starts a couple weeks before the men's season does.
