IN his analysis of TCHCR trends, Roy St. Laurent notes, among other
things:
>
> 1. There are distinct groups of teams, and very little movement between
> groups. The most obvious groups are: a) the top tier (Michigan,
> Minnesota, Lake Superior); b) the second tier (Maine, Michigan State);
> c) the third tier (Northern Mich., Wisc.); d) the bottom tier (Army,
> Union, Air Force, Dartmouth); e) Notre Dame; f) everyone else.
And then:
> What does it all mean:
> * There is little difference between Mich., Minn., and Lake Superior.
> * There is little difference between Maine and Mich.State.
> * Western Mich. comes next just barely ahead of a pack of
> teams that includes Miami, Alaska-Anch. and BostonU.
> * Over time, the next bunch (Colorado C., New Hampshire, Ferris State,
> St. Lawrence, and Providence -- conveniently through rank 16)
> didn't separate out from lower ranked teams *until* this week.

Hey, Roy--what happened to the Wisconsin/Northern Michigan "group"?
