UMass's loss to Southern Maine would put them on the same level as RIT in your books?....I guess I'd have to disagree.

This is only somewhat helpful, what you or anyone who wishes to, should put the SOS #'s next to these %, as some of the schedules of some of these teams is on the weak side. For example, someone like St. Kates may only play 9 teams that have a .500% or better, while other teams like Amherst play 15 teams.
Yea lets pick on St. Kates. The MIAC is a very tough conference. Concordia and Bethel are not .500 teams like there record shows. I will like to see any team from the east play Bethel and see how that goes.
Concordia is 10-9-2 how is that not above .500 My guess is that Bethel would not do that well against many of the Eastern teams. Overall(there may be exceptions) Just an opinion but I think the NCHA is an even stronger conference
Am I bad my team and did not look at there overall record...as far as the NCHA being stronger, based on what?

If I counted correctly, in inter conference play this year the NCHA went
33W-25L-2T Just go through the MIAC teams schedules from previous years and see what you come up with. Pretty sure the NCHA will come out on top

Say What? From the Cray archives of current year games:
Games between teams with winning records – NCHA leads 15-11-2
Games between teams with losing records – NCHA leads 5-2-1
Games where MIAC Team over 500 and NCHA under – MIAC leads 11-0-0
Games where NCHA Team over 500 and MIAC under – NCHA leads 13-1-0
NCHA holds an edge but some would argue not dominating, except for GJack.
Interesting note, MIAC teams have 7 open dates and NCHA teams have 9 open dates. Here is how the top teams faired in inter-league play when matched up against opponents with winning records and in total.
Lake Forest – 2-0-0, 4-0-0
River Falls – 4-1-1, 7-1-1
Adrian – no interleague play with MIAC
Stevens Point – 3-4-0, 5-4-0
Superior – 3-3-0, 6-3-0
St Kates – 0-1-0, 4-1-0
St Thomas – 2-4-1, 2-4-1
Gustavus – 4-1-1, 4-1-1
St Olaf – 2-3-0, 3-3-0
As far as looking back in time, that wouldn’t be relevant to the current year, unless of course you are going to play some of my east coast buddy’s games and say you didn’t beat us in the past, therefore we are better.

Thanks for the info..But are we not just talking about this year? The rankings really don't mean anything right now. I wish we played the east schools more but that cost $$$. So all we can do is look at schedules and results and go from there. That sometimes does nor give a a good picture either.
