      Why, We are Ranked Number One, and you aren't.

      The reason for the talent in the west? Because MN didn't rely on Canada.

        I don't play college hockey anymore. Haven't you used up all your eligibility yet?

          Why should college hockey be different than everything else? East - West is defined by which side of the Mississippi you fall on.

          So... the East is rockin' this thing.

                  Moy took Mercyhurst because they are currently leading the AHA.

                    Agreed!
                    And East should be with 48 of the 59 schools
                    The West has a tough row to hoe with only 11 schools in the pool

This is because I'm removing one of Bowling Green's three wins over UAH (the home game), while the other sites are removing none of BGSU's wins. Since the home game is worth less, its removal causes Bowling Green's winning percentage to not fall as much as removing the away wins would, balancing things out and resulting in a net positive.

                      There's something else going on. I am considering each game separately (because the RPI criteria are weighted differently, I even had to change to not consider all the wins at a single location concurrently because it can produce a different result in rare circumstances).

                      I'm just not seeing that dropping BG's home win over AH improves their RPI. Most interestingly, we agree on the effect on WP and OOPER, but you calculate OPER going to .5251 whereas I calculate it going to .5179. Mine results in the RPI being .5221 (though slightly lower than the current .5221 in the 5th decimal place), whereas your results in an RPI of .5237.

                      It does seem to be unique to BG over AH, a matchup with at least a couple unique features -- wins at different locations vs. the opponent under consideration, and the opponent under consideration has only defeated the team in question such that its OPER is 0. I haven't yet figured out why either (or some other factor) would lead to this difference.

                          Must be the yellow rodents.
                          That is if you count their St Paul campus.
                          If not just change the numbers to 49 and 10.

                            Nope. Most of the University of Minnesota's Twin Cities campus is on the east side of the Mississippi, including Mariucci Arena. You could count them as east AND west, but then you'd have to do the same for St. Cloud State. So, it's either 49/10 or 50/11, but it's definitely not 48/11.

                            EDIT: FYI, the Minneapolis campus is primarily on the east bank as well.

                              Technically, wouldn't the Sanford Center in Bemidji would be considered south of the Mississippi River?

                                If you want to get that technical, it's actually northeast, east, southeast, south, southwest, west, and northwest of the Mississippi.
