it boggles my mind that the numbers are so disparite, yet the results
so close. Here's some data from the maine archives....
head to head it is CC 2 1 1
against common opponents at common sites
minnesota 18 3 1 (2 to go against 7th wcha team)
cc 18 1 3 (2 to go against 8th wcha team)
extra games
minnesota 2 2 (against two teams tied for 4th in wcha)
cc 4 0 (against 6th and 10th wcha teams)
non conference
minnesota 4 0 (against harvard, bowling green, mich, mich st.)
cc 2 1 (against air force, denver)
It is amazing to me that the difference in opponent's winning percentage is
made up entirely of the difference in the 4 odd wcha games, and the 3
or 4 non-conference games. (and the wisconsin and st cloud games still
to come) Can mike (or some other guru) give me some warm fuzzies
about this.
