INCH is basically saying that in a best of 7 series on nuetral ice they would lean towards taking Niagara over the Sioux. OK, sure. Idiots. If you had to bet $10,000 on one of the teams, who in their right mind would really select Niagara ? In a single game anything can happen (see Holy Cross) but there is no way in he!! Niagara would beat the Sioux in a best of 7. KRACH has the Sioux at 6 and Niagara at 20. RPI it is 9 and 15. Strength of schedule is 3 and 45 (according to KRACH). I would love to see INCH's rational for the rankings; by what objective measurement is Niagara better than UND ? I guess they have a better winning % (15-11-2 vs 17-8-3) so I guess they are better BTW, what happened to Colgate ? They had a #1 vote in the pre-season polls. Let's check...#34 in KRACH. Excellent pre-season poll.

The "experts" at INCH moved us all the way up to #15 from #17. I guess we would have dropped out of the rankings if we would have only split on the road to the #1 team. MN gets swept at home handily and drops from #1 to #3. The best system, IMO, is KRACH and the Sioux are at #6. Really doesn't matter anyway, the only thing that matters right now is the pairwise and making the NCAA tourney. Wonder if the NCAA committee will find a way to screw the hockey team like they did the football team if we are somewhere around #12 in the pairwise come selection time.
