I would like to thank the people who have been patiently pointing out my errors as I have struggled to get RPICH out to the list. For some reason I decided it was really important to post RPICH yesterday, and managed to overlook two glaring errors in the process. The first error was a misstatement of how Winning Percentage is calculated. The second error resulted in a set of erroneous figures, the most obvious of which was a record of 4-2-11 for Yale. I seem to have everything in order now, so I present, with some trepidation, the corrected RPICH. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 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. 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. Only the 201 Division 1 games through 11/30/92 are included. RPICH IS BASED ON SCORES COMPILED AND CALCULATIONS PERFORMED INDEPENDENT OF THE NCAA AND ANY AGENTS THEREOF.
