Rating Percentage Index for College Hockey, compiled by Erik Biever RPICH is an attempt to rate college hockey teams by objective methods. The formula is that used as one of the tools for evaluating teams for the national tournaments in college baseball, basketball, and hockey. This implementation of the formula is derived from information published in The Sporting News and Let's Play Hockey. RPICH is calculated by summing each team's winning percentage, the average winning percentage of its opponents, and the average winning percentage of its opponents' opponents, multiplied by 20%, 40%, and 40% respectively. Factors such as home ice and margin of victory are not included. No individual game is weighted more heavily than any other. Only the 706 Division 1 games through 3/8/92 are included. RPICH IS BASED ON SCORES COMPILED AND CALCULATIONS PERFORMED INDEPENDENT OF THE NCAA AND ANY AGENTS THEREOF.
