(Individual Comparisons Table)
The Pairwise Ranking is a system which attempts to mimic the method used by
the NCAA Selection Committee to determine participants for the NCAA Division
I men's hockey tournament. The PWR compares teams with a Ratings Percentage
Index (RPI) at or above .500, judging them by four criteria: record against
common opponents, head to head competition, record against other teams with
RPIs at or above .500, and the RPI.
For each comparison won, a team receives one point. The final PWR ranking is
based on the number of points (comparisons) won against teams at or above
.500. Ties are settled by the RPI.
A more complete explanation of the workings of the PWR is also available in
our FAQ. There is also a FAQ available explaining the NCAA Tournament
selection process.
The PWR can be reformatted and redistributed by any media outlet or person,
provided USCHO's URL (http://www.uscollegehockey.com/) accompanies the
results.
Note: A team's record is based only on games against other Division I hockey
schools which are eligible for the NCAA Tournament. In particular, only
non-exhibition matchups between schools in the six major conferences count
towards a team's record as used in the RPI and PWR. Other games, including
contests against Canadian schools and tournament-ineligible D-I programs,
are not counted.
