ken and wayne (and others)
Thanks for some fascinating reading that (by a loing shot) beats
grading exams. Questions come to mind.
As wayne correctly points out, the important part is the 11 to 20
range because these are the teams that are probably duking it out for
the last few slots in the NCAA tournament. That would be...
KRACH CHODR RPI HEAL RHEAL Median
Michigan 10 9 14 14 10 10
Boston University 9 18 7 10 12 10
Minnesota 12 11 12 15 13 12
Harvard 11 14 11 12 19 12
St. Cloud State 14 13 10 13 8 13
Dartmouth 13 26 13 9 11 13
Miami 16 10 15 11 17 15
Notre Dame 17 16 16 17 15 16
Merrimack 20 29 17 18 16 18
Northern Michigan 22 15 24 16 18 18
Denver 18 8 22 19 23 19
Yale 19 21 18 25 31 21
of these, Yale is off by 10 in RHEAL, the only other big differences are in

are any of these predictions, or the rankings themselves for that
matter, statistically significant at some level or are we just seeing
minor random fluctuations that aren't significant?
what would really be interesting is to look at the old RPI and the NEW
rpi. Were I at the office running my roman version of ten windows, i
could set the two side by side and draw inferences.
Also would be the question of whether the changes to PWR are
significant. Yes, i know, ir is really significant to a team that is
in under one and out under the other
