yzerman19 Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 Another thing that people criticize the PWR about is that it is time agnostic. So, a win is a win, no matter when it occurs. Take a typical UND year, clearly beating us in November is easier than beating us in February. That would never factor in. A lot of folks think that if you are playing your best hockey at the end of the year, it also deserves some additional credit. If you are tied in virtually all aspects with four or five other teams near the bubble, but you go 10-2 down the stretch and the others go 5-7 or 6-6, should that be worth some additional credit? The PWR does take subjectivity out of it- it is a math formula, we all know that while it makes it consistent, that doesn't necessarily make it right. A few years ago, the PWR worked so that UND lost its way to a #1 seed in the NCAAs... Quote
jimdahl Posted May 5, 2012 Posted May 5, 2012 I sure can understand that. If you knew what you were doing would it take that long to enter all the info? Both USCHO and CHN have one page composite schedules you could use: CHN composite results USCHO They each get one or two games wrong per year, so you do have to keep an eye on them, but they're a lot better starting point than trying to collect the results yourself.
