For those who may not be familiar with CHODR, a full introduction is posted in a separate message. Briefly, the system assigns offensive and defensive ratings to each of the 44 Division I teams based on goals for and against while accounting for strength of schedule. The overall ratings are simply the difference between the offensive and defensive ratings. CHODR also allows us to predict the scores (and win probabilities) of upcoming games. Timothy J.
