Hi Rick,

It looks like you're using the "old" formula for the hockey RPI, 35%
of winning percentage, 50% of opponents' winning percentage and 15% of
opponents' opponents' winning percentage.  According to

http://www.uscho.com/news/2002/06/27_004475.php

the committee decided to go back to the 25/50/25 formula used by the
rest of the NCAA.  (This was done to keep teams with good records
against weak schedules from getting the higher RPIs we've seen in the
past; of course hockey originally switched to 35/50/15 in the first
place because the 25/50/25 formula makes it easier to beat a bad team
and see your RPI go down.)

Anyway, I've got an RPI page linked off of http://slack.net/hockey/
which contains the current RPI, updated daily, and I'd be happy to
check our results against each other.
