  • The Top 25 College Hockey Teams of the NCAA Era

    As some of you may or may not know, I had developed a formula to rank teams from an individual season, and applied it to all of the national champions from the NCAA era, along with several great teams that came up just short of winning it all. There was a thread, but after minimal research, I could not find it. Anyway, in my old list I had separated the teams in different eras. I have since come up with a tweak that puts older teams on a more level playing field with new teams. Applying that tweak, and incorporating all of the NCAA title winning teams AND the great, but never ncaa title winning teams from the NCAA Tournament era (1947-present). I will be releasing this list on College Hockey Weekly's website, with #25 being published at some point today. I thought I would post a thread here for discussion, and fun reminiscing about great teams from years past. Also, when #25 is up and running, I'll place the direct link here, as I'm not sure exactly where they'll put this particular portion on the website.

    Thanks, and enjoy...

          I hope you enjoy it. Denver has certainly had some great teams. The goal will be to do anywhere from 1-3 per week. I've sent everything in for #25, so I'll post the link here when it gets put up.

                      Yeah, it's a lot of fun doing the research and finding out crazy things that happened from some of the games. For example, in the first title game ever in '48, Michigan was playing Dartmouth. Towards the end of the 2nd period, with Dartmouth up 4-3, Michigan thought they scored the tying goal. It was waived off by the officials, and the period ended with Dartmouth winning 4-3. However, the officials discussed the play over the intermission, and when the Indians (Dartmouth was called the Indians up until the late 60's or early 70's I believe) took the ice in the third, they realized the game was now tied. The officials decided to count the goal in between periods, and it threw Dartmouth off their game, and Michigan scored four times in the third and won the first title 8-4. I can't imagine what people would do if something like that happened now.

                      Also, it was around this same time that the NFL was debating about taking away the extra point after a touchdown to combat gambling issues and point fixing, and adding Overtime to decide tied games. Overtime was adopted, but they kept the extra point.

                        It's got to be Maine, 1992-93

                        42-1-1, I think.

                          There are 10 teams in the top 25 that lost 2 or fewer games. We'll see what happens!

                            Love the topic! Will be fun to see how you unfold the rest of the list

                              I can't recall for sure whether they were on top when the first list came out (so I get to be surprised again!), but c'mon - they only won 93% of their games. If they were on top before, hopefully FS23's "tweak that puts older teams on a more level playing field with new teams" will result in the rightful #1 being crowned.

                              If you don't change the world today, how can it be any better tomorrow?
