Now that we're past Thanksgiving, about 80% of all non-conference games have been played. Here's the inter-conference standings by winning percentage:
B1G, .704
NCHC, .685
Hockey East, .667 <gaping hole alert>
Atlantic Hockey, .366
ECAC, .364
CCHA, .351
There's a gaping hole between the top three and bottom three conferences--three hundred points. Quinnipiac (PWR 2) and AIC (PWR 15) are the only teams from the bottom three conferences in the top 20 of the Pairwise.
And notice which conferences are first and last. It's likely not just Mike Hastings leaving Mankato for Wisco, but my goodness has that changed things for the CCHA.
