Western Power Rankings: Week 10

Time flies, doesn’t it? We have arrived at the final rankings of the season, where we find nine of the 26 western teams already eliminated (including, unfortunately, Michigan Tech). In a year full of parity, we amazingly had only one playoff series go to three games: Wisconsin vs. Penn State. This week, we have cut...

The postseason begins this weekend for two of three western conferences, so by this time next week, seven more teams will have joined Ferris State and Alaska-Anchorage on the golf course. These rankings received a real shake-up, with a re-evaluation at the...

2019 Power Rankings: Week 8

February has flown by and now we enter the best month of the college hockey season. This weekend is the final set of conference games for the Big Ten and WCHA, so teams still in the hunt in those conferences have one final opportunity to situate themselves in both the pairwise and conference standings. There is still plenty of possible movement and lots of home ice up for grabs (especially in the Big Ten), so look to enjoy some of this season’s most intense hockey thus far (with plenty of it televised)!

Welcome back to the Power Rankings, where we are quickly approaching conference tournament season! Starting this week, we will make use of the Pairwise Probability Matrix from College Hockey News to predict the chances of teams getting into the tournament (both overall and at-large).

2019 Power Rankings: Week 6

It was a slow week around the western half of the NCAA this week with 8 of the top 11 teams on bye. With the other three in that group avoiding any losses, there is very little movement from last week’s rankings. The series of the week was played at St. Cloud, where Colorado College...

2019 Power Rankings: Week 5

Welcome to the first week of February, where things are beginning to solidify in the Pairwise and in these power rankings. Splits in the NCHC tightened up the second tier while the WCHA strengthened their bid to get two teams into the tournament for the second straight year. Meanwhile, the Big Ten continues to cannibalize...

2019 Power Rankings: Week 3

This week was affected by the weather, resulting in a few cancellations and time changes. The top three escaped without losses yet again, although Denver’s tie dropped them down to third. Once again, Penn State took a tumble after being swept again and Minnesota wasted all good vibes from their sweep of Notre Dame by...

Power Rankings: Post-Winter Break Edition

Welcome back to THG’s western power rankings, now with a new host! Here, we will throw caution to the wind, get some Fighting Hawks fans riled up for no good reason, and hopefully get some angry comments from readers. Note that these rankings will not track teams’ win-loss records, thus I am not including team...
