It took several hours of fixing last year's spreadsheet thanks to Merrimack's rise to D1, but after opening up the laptop on a couple trans-Pacific flights in the offseason I was able to update the Pairwise Predictor for the 2015-2016 season.
You can play with results here and see how it would affect the Pairwise (i.e. if St. Lawrence wins tomorrow, if Minnesota had lost yesterday, etc.).
Any questions or bug reports, please let me know!
Note that my spreadsheet will disagree with USCHO's PWR/RPI until everyone (other than the Ivies, anyway) has played two opponents and every opponent has played two opponent's opponents. If a team is listed on my spreadsheet, it means they fit that criteria. If they have an RPI of 0.000, it means that they either haven't started playing yet (Ivies) or someone they've played hasn't played another opponent. The reason is that "Opponents Winning Percentage" is a divide-by-zero if your opponent hasn't played anyone else. USCHO appears to change divide-by-zero errors into zeroes to make it not break the formula, I just change the team's entire RPI to zero since they're both useless corrections anyway.
Short version: In a week or two all the non-Ivies should match up to USCHO's PWR/RPI, and until then the ones on my spreadsheet are accurate with no divide-by-zero errors.
