  • Re: The Top 25 College Hockey Teams of the NCAA Era

    I see that # 17 has posted. It will be interesting to see where the over/under line for the number of programs with a team in the top 25 breaks.

    No takers yet on a line set at 10.

When you think that over the past 60+ years of NCAA era hockey there have been probably in the neighborhood of 3-4,000 teams, you are looking at the top half percent of all the teams that have played in the era.
        uhm, how do you even get to your list without a direct link?

            Already 5 teams on the list and it doesn't include a lot of historically good programs. So i'd imagine it does go over 10.

            Maine, Colorado College, Denver, Michigan Tech, Wisconsin for example.

              Yeah, being in the archives for a currently unveiling list is not exactly intuitive
              MTU Hockey fan since I was carried to a game in 1986 - for those counting... that's a lot of depressing hockey. Still love it.

              Surrounded by Badger Red in Wisconsin. Such an ugly color, but the beer and cheese are delicious...

                  Hmm. 5 teams shown already with RPI, Cornell, MTU, LSSU, and Maine all pretty much guaranteed at least one team in the last 16.

                  I'll take the over.

                    The guy who is doing the website stuff is doing it for free. They have a severely limited budget. It definitely is a little plain.

                      you did not specify which way, my inference would be to take the over however.




                      EDIT: or i could do like the pros do, and re-set the line if the "action" is too heavy on one side or the other.

                      Hmm....a line of 11.5 perhaps?

                      There are five on the list already, and five more seem pretty solid. Toss in one more due to my lack of knowledge. Then I'll perch on the fence.

                        Or maybe I've just been playing a trick on everyone and teams #1-16 are all North Dakota teams?

                          I'm gonna have to go with the over because these teams should all be on your list and if they're not, your calc is flawed:

                            Well, we already know one of those teams didn't make it... (88-89 Harvard)

                            Also, that is false. Said spoilered team did not win their conference tournament.

                              There are a couple others from that list as well that didn't. Apparently I have a flawed calculation.

                                The 1975 team was pretty good too. They would have to be in that conversation.
