2010-2011 Rutter DIII Computer Rankings Thread

[LakersFan]

I have updated my website for the D3 teams and the rankings are now live. Here is the link:

http://math.bd.psu.edu/faculty/rutter/D3_Rankings.html

As always, I am not as familiar with the D3 results, and any slight name change (St. Thomas vs. Saint Thomas, for example) on the site where I scrap results will cause me to miss games, so if things don't make sense, please let me know.

I suspect Sacred Heart, because it is not in a DIII league is probably handled as an exhibition against a DI team and thus not calculated in the results.

holy cross is d1

Re: 2010-2011 Rutter DIII Computer Rankings Thread

holy cross is d1

However, it plays in a D3 league which allows it enough games against common opponents (ECAC-East) to include them in a statistical analysis, unlike Sacred Heart which does not participate in a league and plays a good number of D1 teams in addition to a selection of other teams including St Mikes and St. A's (D2). Sacred Heart IIRC only plays 1/2 of it games against D3 opponents, not enough to do rankings.

Sacred Heart: They act like a DI team in the sense they start playing games in Septmeber, and they play a number of DI games, 7 this year I believe. They also play a number of DIII games, but are not in a DIII conference. Therefore, I choose not to put them in either ranking. Once they decide to play a primarly DI or DIII schedule, I will start to include them. Games against Sacred Heart and Holy Cross do count toward DI RPI, I have been told.

Holy Cross, Saint Michael's, and Saint Anselm play DIII teams, starting in late October/early November and play a DIII league schedule. So even though they are not eligable for the DIII NCAA tournament, I include them in my rankings. Since the games count toward a league championship, they should count in a ranking system.

So Holy Cross' game against Sacred Heart doesn't count?

Yes, that is correct. I don't think the games against Sacred Heart count for anything, except if overall record is a tiebreaker for the conference regular season, if the conference counts these games. Therefore, a coach may choose to play a different goalie, mix up the lines, experiment of the penalty kill/power play, in what is essential an exhibition game. Hard to justify including those games in the rankings.
