Oh poo poo yall we back, things are weird because college hockey is always weird. Michigan can go gently caress themselves! Denver won poo poo last year and are gonna give it a shot at running it back. Basically all the big Minnesota teams are monsters again! Michigan can go gently caress themselves! BU and BC have new head coaches!  RULE CHANGES quote:A change to the video review process: likely to be popular among everyone involved with college hockey after a series of lengthy video reviews defined the outcome of many NCAA tourney games last season. Coaches can formally issue a challenge in specific scenarios (similar to the NHL), including offside infractions and goaltender interference. An unsuccessful challenge will result in the loss of the team's timeout, and additional unsuccessful challenges thereafter will result in a two-minute penalty for delay of game. Lindenwood and Stonehill now have programs and begin this year. They along with LIU, Arizona State, SPACEBEAR, and Alaska-Anchorage are all independent this year. Robert Morris returns next year, and Augustana will kick off their program next year as well. Get absolutely hosed, Michigan! College hockey is terrible! Post about it here!

No more 18 minute intermissions?!?! But what about the 6 Toyota commercials! I'm looking forward to seeing how a properly run team does in Arizona. I'm also very much looking forward to this review change. Hopefully it helps avoid that garbage with the CCHA final last season, but somehow I doubt it. Also gently caress Michigan.

Troy Queef posted:it is an absolute crying shame that Minny vs the Fighting [REDACTED] is not an annual, home-and away, series Absolutely correct. It was the best of yearly series and hotly contested. I've had more fun yelling and screaming at those games than any other games. The WCHA did eventually start getting too big when they added Bemidji and Nebraska Omaha, but before that it was some of the most consistently awesome hockey. Even the series against Alaska-Anchorage were fun. But with Minnesota, North Dakota, CC, Denver, Duluth, St Cloud, and Wisconsin you had just a ton of great hockey programs playing great series every year. Who among us can't remember Blake Wheeler absolutely steeling it against ND? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SrOVhSQQN0U If you look really closely you can even see Dave Hakstol (you can't, but he was definitely there) and those series are why I can never support a Hakstol team. His tactics are still pretty close to the same! Jhet fucked around with this message at 05:59 on Oct 24, 2022 |

PSU's schedule hasn't exactly been a murderer's row thus far but 8-0-0 is still a lot better of a start than I expected. Michigan this weekend might be the first real test.

The series against Penn State was some of the lowest hockey attendance in the history of the Kohl Center. I think all the cool students that were Crease Creatures moved on to volleyball.

Fifty Three posted:Yeah I don't know how far out college hockey gets scheduled compared to like, football, but I wonder if programs ever look at their rosters and outlook and wish they could make adjustments for the sake of strength of schedule Like most college sports you'll have guaranteed games set by the conference, and then the non-conference games that you get to schedule yourself. So some schools will have agreements for multiple year series (home one year, away the next) and some will just arrange games in the summer after they get the conference schedule too. The ADs and coaching staff will kind of know by then what they want. Conference games you get much less control over and will play everyone if possible.

There were 6 different teams who got first place votes this week (including Penn State!), I'd be surprised if any team stays in the top spot continuously for a month or longer with how this season has been playing out. Michigan/Minnesota/Penn State/OSU are all good enough that back to back tough weekends are going to be a lot more common in the Big Ten.

yeah there's always some weird poo poo in early rankings and I believe they've also tweaked how pairwise is calculated. This also feels like the first time in a while, covid season notwithstanding, that the b1g has had conference games early on in the season. Felt like they always did a bunch of OOC games until like December.

DJExile posted:yeah there's always some weird poo poo in early rankings and I believe they've also tweaked how pairwise is calculated. Pairwise is pretty useless until teams have actually played each other more. Right now it has a 5-3-1 Massachusetts team that's #8 in Hockey East winning the comparison against a whole bunch of teams you'd raise an eyebrow at. They've been getting trashed in conference games, but they beat Denver and Union in non-conference games and are getting a big boost from it. Meanwhile you get other teams playing tight and good hockey ranked below it because their non-conference schedule was difficult and they split the series. I'm not a big fan of the pairwise to begin with, mostly because of the "quality win bonus" that they use. It doesn't balance out very well, but Mass gets extra points for beating Denver in the second weekend of games from that too, but then the wins are weighted less because it was at home. It's too much like throwing darts at a board and you get inflated numbers which influence other numbers even if you don't end up playing anyone in the Big10 all year, you can end up higher with a worse record because you beat someone in the NCHA a month ago. But it gets even worse! If your win means your number would go down they just ignore it instead of fixing the system to pay attention to all the games. It should not even be possible to lose points in the standings and every win should be worth something instead of nothing. So if you have a relatively bad conference, instead of gaining points by beating your weak conference opponents, you get no benefit at all from those games. And if a bad team loses to a good team, its rating goes up while the good team doesn't get any ratings points from that game at all. Incidentally, this could make it more difficult for new programs to find regular games and even a conference. What's the point in adding bad teams to your regular schedule if it's going to hurt your postseason potential? tl;dr: If you want a ratings system that gives you a picture of the whole season, you need to be looking at the whole of the season with it and not modifying results heavily.

Yeah Pairwise has basically never really meant poo poo until like after the holidays. I almost kinda wish it wasn't published at all until like Jan. 1. That "KRACH" system that I think gets posted to CollegeHockeyNews seems to do a little better with it.

Pairwise is 90% just RPI so until you have enough games played in total across the entire NCAA that opponents' opponents win percentage stabilizes (which is usually around at least half the conference games played), it's going to look crazy early. Also, I think the Big Ten playing November conference games started a year or two ago, it's definitely nice to see a few series happen before the holiday tournaments.
