Both those teams have struggled defensively of late IMO. Top of the league in offense, bottom of the league in defense. Quote

jimdahl Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 As I posted on collegehockeyranked, there's some new uncertainty in how to implement this year's revised RPI/PWR. CHN has published their tables for the first time, noting that they're different from everyone else's, but that they're sure they're right. I've been in communication with both them and USCHO, and I'm not sure there's going to be a quick resolution to this. So, for now, we probably shouldn't be treating anyone's PWR tables as quite so much a "fact" as we did in past years. For now, SiouxSports' tables match USCHO, though I'll definitely watch both carefully and try to do some analysis as to how different the two techniques really are. Quote

Thanks Jim, this stuff really interests me and I hope UND doesn't show up as making the tournament in one site's predictions and out in the other or Selection Sunday could be a nail-biter this year! Which day will you put out UND's PWR predictions for this weekend? Made a nice jump while dormant last week, moving to #15. Quote

So how do we find out who has the most accurate PWR? I like the ones that have UND in 14th... Quote

Yeah, I say we let it play out and whichever system we're higher in at the end of the year is the correct one Quote
siouxweet Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 get in to the top ten in both by march 22 and und should be safe. Quote

jimdahl Posted February 6, 2014 Author Posted February 6, 2014 UND PWR outlook with 10 games to go The "end of regular season" chart moved exactly how it should have for a split since the last one. The "one week" chart shows a lot of downside potential (which fits with the other chart's claim that UND needs to go 7/10 just to keep up with its current ranking or climb slightly). Note that I'm still using the USCHO formula, because it's the one I had working first. Still working on the CHN formula. Quote

Wilbur Posted February 8, 2014 Posted February 8, 2014 I think if Bucky wins, UND will get a bump......because BU beat Sconny, who will beat the #2 team.... Come on Bucky. Quote
