Ted Weiler is curious about: > But I wanna know, why BC didn't >lose a spot. Because they were way ahead of #7 BU. They were 4.5 points ahead of BU until they got upset; now they are only 1.25 points ahead. They were within 1 point of #5 Michigan last week, but now they are over 3 points back. At this stage in the season, a win will raise your rating about a point and a loss will knock you down about a point. BC lost over 2 points, so getting upset did hurt them more than normal. (From Northeastern's point of view, this was a huge win, vaulting them up 3 spots and improving their rating by 3+ points. They probably would have caught Fairbanks, too, except the Nanooks managed a split with Anchorage last week.) Remember, it was only 1 game out of BC's 37 this year. TCHCR only weighs this early post-season game 10% more, by the way. BC may drop a spot *next week* if BU keeps winning. BC's loss itself is not too serious, but the fact that it has lost a chance to beat BU or Maine or Providence in the semis/championship will come back to haunt them. That is, the full effect of Northeastern's upset has not been felt yet. Sometimes it takes some digging, but I think I can explain anything TCHCR does. Keith
