They did this midseason? How is that possible?

It's a Yale* plot, I'm surprised you haven't come up with that conspiracy theory yet.

I wonder if they did make this change during the summer and just announced it now. Seems strange even for the NCAA to change midseason. PWR looks much different today than it did yesterday morning with these changes.

The article has no source (not even a "i talked to someone close to the situation"). How do they know the system has changed?

Also, while PWR does accurately predict participating teams, I didn't think the committee actually used it. They may use similar criteria, but I've never seen them say "this is the system we use".

If they told us what they used, we wouldn't have the joys of the annual "My team got screwed" thread. Not to mention, the actual system is probably so awful that there would be so much press, causing the suits to blush.

It'll be funny when Yale doesn't make the tournament this year! Every Yale fan will start their own personal thread!

The USCHO PWR show the same as what CHN now shows, but USCHO doesn't have an article stating something was changed. Did someone simply drop the ball on reporting this in the offseason when it was most likely changed? As someone else pointed out, I don't see any source or a date given for when this was allegedly changed.

TUCs are stupid anyways. They should've just gotten rid of it altogether and switched to KRACH.

I agree the KRACH is a better ranking system.

Very possible they went into a smoke filled room and concocted the idea.

Is the Committe embarassed that the current #1 teams has to throw out so many wins because of the "cupcakedness" of its schedule? Is this an attempt to remove some of the "*"s from the rpi?

Good point!!! I think the fact remains that if you keep stuffing your face with "cupcakes" eventually you will get fat... I wonder if the NCAA is trying to help along a few other struggling teams so the NCAA tourney isn’t stuff full of teams from the “West”… I don't like the fact that they changed the rules in the middle of the game, it makes them look like a bunch of bumbling buffoons.

I don't disagree with your assessment.. but I thought I heard they did this last summer when discussing some of the on ice rule changes.

Yale will be in. I know this because in the Yale Cheater thread it's been established that Yale is "for realz" and that they will be sending a minimum of 10 really fast skating players each season directly to the NHL for the next decade +.

Despite that, Michigan is projected to have the best recruiting classes........

If they did it last summer, why not announce the change then? Coming out now, it looks bad.

Did anyone even announce it? This doesn't just look bad, this looks like pizz-poor management.
