disclaimers: 1) I am using .003, .002, and .001 as the bonus weights 2) the CHA and Atlantic Hockey champions are automatic qualifiers, so the projected AH winner is also a Team under consideration. 3) placings lower than 16 are not included, so there are, for example, 128 scenarios where UVM finishes lower than 16th 4) my rpi value calculator does not (yet) implement "If a team defeats a weak opponent, it is possible for its RPI to go down despite the win. Starting in 2003-04, if this happens in a team's conference tournament, that game can be thrown out of the RPI calculation for that team." This adjustment impacts the RPI values for CC, Denver, Cornell, Michigan, and Dartmouth. it seems to change the individual comparison between cornell and denver team 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boston College 16 4 10 2 Colorado Coll 16 16 Denver 6 16 10 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Cornell 6 6 4 13 3 Minnesota 13 11 8 New Hampshire 3 8 1 8 6 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Michigan 6 7 11 8 North Dakota 3 12 13 4 Harvard 11 5 2 14 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Maine 16 16 Ohio State 16 16 Wisconsin 16 16 Boston Univ 32 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Colgate 32 Bemidji Atlantic Hockey Champ /"\ ASCII Ribbon | charlie shub \ / Campaign Against | University of Colorado at Colorado Springs X HTML in e-mail | [log in to unmask] (719) 262-3492 / \ and news | http://cs.uccs.edu/~cdash (fax) 262-3369
