   The Pairwise Ranking is the ranking system used by the NCAA Selection
   Committee to determine participants for the NCAA men's Division I
   hockey tournament -- it has no inherent meaning for women's hockey.
   The PWR compares only those at or above .500, judging them by five
   criteria: record against common opponents, record in last 20 games,
   head to head competition, record against other teams at or above .500,
   and the Ratings Percentage Index (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.
   You can see the complete list of all the individual comparisons.
   Warning: this file is very large.
   Note: The PWR can be reformatted and redistributed by any media outlet
   or person, provided USCHO's URL (http://www.uscollegehockey.com/)
   accompanies the results.
