Re: NonConference games matter more than conference ones..RPI needs changes
The format of posting of Fan form is hard to get used to. Not like Facebook. I reply and go back and do not see my answer. Then it later appears in an answer to the person who is “yellowed” with my reply below. Hence “many postings “ of same conversations with one person. Just a confusing system for me. Never saw anything like it before. SORRY FOR REPEATS!Comment

Re: NonConference games matter more than conference ones..RPI needs changes
Regardless of you getting confused, every time you post that BC should have made the NCAA tournament the past two seasons there are a dozen or more replies that clearly state why they didn't make the tournament, which you either don't read, don't understand, or don't like the answer, because you just post the same complaint again and again. If you truly believe the regular season champions deserves an automatic bid you need to either:Originally posted by freedomfighter View Post
1. Contact Hockey East and get the league to award their automatic bid to the regular season champion and not the tournament champion; or
2. Contact the NCAA and get them to change how autobids are awarded, so regular season champions get one if they don't win their league tournament.
I wish you well in your efforts.

Re: NonConference games matter more than conference ones..RPI needs changes
Honestly: it’s fine.
Yeah, we can quibble over RPI vs KRACH vs whatever, but the system does what it needs to do: make it about wins and losses.If you want to be a BADGER, just come along with me

Re: NonConference games matter more than conference ones..RPI needs changes
Well if we are giving BC 2 bids they don't deserve, then giving BU at least one they didn't earn as well makes sense.Originally posted by J.D. View PostComment

Re: NonConference games matter more than conference ones..RPI needs changes
OK... throw out OOC. How do you want to rank conference strength? All conferences are equal?Originally posted by freedomfighter View Post
So... 1st and 2nd place from each conference make the NCAA's, plus 4 at large bids? (can't have the top 3 teams from each, there are 6 conferences and that would be 18 teams).
Hockey East this season went 0-10-1 vs tBig, 7-14-1 vs NCHC, and 0-3-1 vs WCHA.
BC performed well against mediocre HE teams and flopped against the stronger OOC teams, and they're deserving? Not in my book.
Your tournament would suck IMO... lots of deserving teams sit home and lots of undeserving teams play for a watered down NC.'Eavesdropped the BC forum in USCHO. A range of intellects over there. Mostly gentlemen, but a couple of coarse imbeciles' - academic_index, a Brown fanComment

Re: NonConference games matter more than conference ones..RPI needs changes
It seems that an argument that conference standings are the most important consideration rings a little hollow in a season in which Duluth, who finished barely above .500 and a distant 3rd place in its conference, was good enough to win the National Title.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.Comment

This is probably degenerated into hazing the new guy, but heavens to Roboshark... Not even the BC fans think they should have made the NCAA tournament.
Maybe he used to work for the Lowell Sun and he has a bone to pick with those dang new-fangeled computers?
