    See, ARM *gets it*. It's like what Stephen Colbert calls "truthiness" --

    Truthiness is a quality characterizing a "truth" that a person making an argument or assertion claims to know intuitively "from the gut" or because it "feels right" without regard to evidence, logic, intellectual examination, or facts.

        For that matter, so would Benilde-St Margaret's and the rest of the top teams of section 6. And boom goes the dynamite.
        At the outset, we could hang with the dude...

          TTT talks more smack at season's end as he nervously watches the WCHA's Holy Trinity toppling BC's house of cards each March.

                  Good to see Wisconsin down to third, though I continue to believe they should also be behind Assabet Valley.

                    Pokechecker Index for the week:

                    KRACH has been the most accurate ranking all year

                    1) 1-1-1-1=4 Minnesota
                    -------------
                    2) 2-2.5-2-2=8.5 Wisconsin
                    -------------
                    3) 3-2.5-5-3=13.5 Clarkson
                    -------------
                    4) 4-5-4-4=17 Cornell
                    -------------
                    5) 5-4-7-5=21 Boston College
                    6) 6-6-6-6=24 Harvard
                    -------------
                    7) 7-9.5-3-10.5=30 UND
                    -------------
                    8) 9-8-9-8.5=34.5 Mercyhurst
                    9) 10-7-10-8=35 Quinnipiac
                    10) 8-9.5-11-7.5=36 Robert Morse

                    2 of those last 3 teams will be in the NCAA, I'm betting Quinnipiac will be one of them

                      Wait, there's a ranking that has North Dakota in third?

                        I think Rutter has them in the 3 spot.

                          That's.......... a bit silly I think.

                            Silly or not. It is based on a mathematical model. Not going to knock Rutter, as it has been proven to be a fairly accurate mathematical predictor model over the years. I think it reflects the fact that the WCHA has a strong inter conference record. It does not throw out games vs weak teams, so that is where it may skew things a bit compared to RPI etc. It just looks at Wins and Losses, not margins of victory.

                              Rutter does seem to be quite the outlier this year though.

                                and there is your problem. As I mentioned previously in another thread, predicting human behavior based upon a mathematical model, though once in vogue, has been thoroughly discredited.
