A look at the Pairwise Rankings



The University of North Dakota is now sitting at the top of the Pairwise Rankings. With the win tonight, they moved ahead of Minnesota State. If the NCAA tourney started today there would be six NCHC teams in the NCAA tourney.

Here’s the NCHC teams from the KRACH rankings. You can see that Minnesota-Duluth has the hardest strength of schedule to date. St Cloud State University has the second toughest SOS. Nebraska-Omaha comes in with the third toughest.  

You can also see from the Pairwise Rankings that the NCHC is doing pretty well right now and that the top-10 is full of NCHC teams. This weekend's match-up between UMD and UND is going to be important for the Pairwise Rankings. While a weekend doesn't make a season, a sweep for either team would be huge

A few things two Knights before Christmas

I like numbers and stats and I was perusing a few today. First, while I realize that the Pairwise Rankings mean nothing until selection Sunday in March after the Conference tourneys, the current numbers can give a snap shot of where the various teams in the WCHA stand right now.

As far as strength of Schedule goes, UND has played the 5th toughest schedule to date. Their Schedule during the second half isn’t easy either. UND has to travel to Minnesota, Nebraska Omaha and Denver. UND also still has a few tough series at home against C.C. and SCSU.

During his three and a half seasons at UND, center Corban Knight a been a beast in the faceoff circle. Knight has won (.590) of his faceoffs that he has taken during his three and a half seasons at UND.
