    It is what it is. I have no idea when it is coming out, but I would think that it would be sometime in the next few days. I've submitted all the way through #11. I was told a few weeks ago that they were planning on doing the top 10 as a 1/week type thing, so perhaps they decided to start that now. I think they are trying to maximize traffic to the site, as I know they are struggling a bit financially. I told them to put a paypal donate button on there, but they don't think they would get much of anything that way, and they are trying to get traffic so that they can sell ads on the site (which I told them not to do). We'll see what happens.

      FS23 and I have since worked out our differences and I have already retracted my criticism of his objectivity. Though, I must point out again, my criticism never really focused on this thread specifically, so the title of the thread always was insignificant to the discussion. Thanks for pointing that out though

          thanks. At this rate it looks like we'll see the number one team around the end of February, eh?

          I know they are hoping to increase traffic....I do like your 'tip jar' suggestion.

            I told them to put a donate button and then something along the lines of "please help us keep our site ad free." We'll see if it happens because I hate advertisements.

            I've also suggested that when it gets to the top 5 or top 10 to release them all at once, but that got shot down pretty quickly. I've strongly suggested to release at least #1 and #2 on the same day because otherwise it will be anti-climatic waiting for #1. We'll see.

                  Love the concept, but feel free to mix in a paragraph or 12 in those recaps. Pretty tough to read.

                    I submit them in paragraph form. The web guy uploads them that way. I'll let them know that I'm not the only one who thinks it looks weird.

                      That's arguably the best Gopher team ever and they came in at 18. I'd be very surprised if another Gopher team shows up.

                        Thanks. I have recorded your point totals for 18, 19, and 21 - 25, but for some reason I don't have your point total for # 20 2000-2001 Boston College.

                          I'll make sure and post their totals when I get to my other computer that has the formula on it.

                          Also, it appears that Friday is going to be the normal day for releasing teams, so look out tomorrow for #17.

                              Thank you. earlier in this thread, you had suggested that teams within 5 points of each other effectively were "tied" given the plus-minus factor. given that criteria, if this were scored like golf, so far at least, the last six teams on the list, # 20 through # 25 inclusive, effectively would all be tied for # 20....though that might be adjusted somewhat as the rest of the scores are posted.

                                Yeah, 5 was just a pure guess without looking at it statistically. Given that, it's important to remember these are the best of the best. 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.
