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.
