The College Hockey Computer Rating uses a connected schedule graph and
a least squares optimization to rate the 44 Division I college hockey
teams. This method considers a team's opponents, and their opponents,
etc, until all 302 Division I games are included.
In addition to rating the teams, a strength of schedule is calculated
for each team. The schedule strength can be computed by averaging the
ratings of a team's opponents for each game.
The ratings are normalized so that the #1 team receives a 100.00 and
#44 gets a 0.00. Thus, the ratings are purely relative numbers, rating
a team based on the rest of college hockey and not on any absolute
basis.
For every game game, the teams are evaluated based on: the outcome
(win, lose, tie); the margin of victory; the site of the game (home,
away, neutral ice); and overtime or regulation time.
Only games against other Division I teams are considered.
Notes for 12/9: The WCHA teams are rated lower than most people would
expect. The WCHA as whole is rated low because it is 1-10 against teams
in the other 3 conferences. The ECAC is 11-12, the CCHA is 6-4 and
Hockey East is 23-15 against teams in the opposing leagues.
