If we can do well this weekend against SCSU, look for us to break the Top 20

It is what it is as they say,but Miami is still getting more votes than WMU with a worse record and WMU swept them over the weekend.

RE: Week 15 Rankings - WMU unranked
Yeah, a bit peculiar, but not unexpected.
If I've noticed any trend in putting together these stats for the past 2-3 seasons, it's that the USA Hockey poll voters seem to let biases influence their picks (more than records) far more than you see in the USCHO polls.
"Big name" programs always seem to get the benefit of the doubt throughout much of the season. For example, Notre Dame often is a couple spots higher than in the USCHO poll. Given last weekend's sweep and the Pairwise, I'd say there's a good chance that's what we're seeing with Miami this week.
In the end, however, both polls always seem to magically align the last couple weeks of the season.

RE: Week 15 Rankings - WMU unranked
I was thinking of starting a new weekly thread with this link:
http://www.playoffstatus.com/nchc-hockey...dings.html
But maybe I should just post it here? Thought?
It's pretty fun to look at all the teams playoff situations. A little bit early to start getting a clear picture, unless you are CC[/align]

Great stuff - I hadn't seen that before.
I can incorporate into the weekly thread if you'd like.
Let me play around with it - I should be able to add another tab in my master Google spreadsheet that'll auto-chart the data contained in there. People seem to like pretty charts and graphs.
