This method considers a team's opponents, and their opponents, etc., until all 623 Division I games are included. In addition to rating the teams, a strength of schedule is calculated for each team. The schedule strength can be computed by averaging the ratings of a team's opponents for each game. The ratings are normalized so that the #1 team receives a 100.00 and #44 gets a 0.00. Thus, the ratings are purely relative numbers, rating a team based on the rest of college hockey and not on any absolute basis. For every game, the teams are evaluated based on: the outcome (win, lose, tie); the margin of victory; the site of the game (home, away, neutral ice); and overtime or regulation time. Only games against other Division I teams are considered.
