As a disturbed person with a password, I took the liberty of shuffling the
most recent TCHCR. I found the result interesting and thought other
HOCKEY-Lers might as well.

Some comments:
* It has been noted that TCHCR accuracy suffers from the inbred scheduling
and less well connected graph that has resulted from the NC$$ limitations
(does inbred scheduling lead to idiot hockey?). I think the above is a
statement regarding the extent of that inaccuracy. Fewer inter-conference
games attaches more significance to the ones that remain.
* The solid block of WCHA-CCHA teams surprised me. While it seemed that
WCHA-CCHA teams generally beat HE-ECAC teams over the holidays, I thought
that, overall, inter-conference records were pretty even, with the
ECAC exception. Yet no HE team was able to crack that upper block. Not
having a schedule with me, could this be a result of HE teams playing a
greater percentage of their non-conference games against the ECAC? Could
OSU's tournament win be echoing throughout the schedule strength ratings,
given their lofty standings in the CCHA?
* Given that most inter-conference games have already been played, the
Eastern teams are screwed, TCHCR-wise.
