I have been looking at the records and strength of schedules (SOS) of teams in the WCHA and here is what I have come up with.
There is a huge discrepancy between a few of the teams in the WCHA.
The first number is the current standing of team, the next number is the RPI and the last one is the strength of schedule.
The Denver Pioneers are the most battle tested team through 12 games as they have played the third toughest schedule in college hockey.
The Minnesota Gophers have played no teams with a record “above” .500.
The Omaha Mavericks have played one game against a team(Notre Dame) that has a winning record and that was ranked in the top twenty – the Mavericks also lost the game against Irish 3-2.
1 Denver: RPI 4 – SOS 3 0.5528
2 Minnesota: RPI 10 – SOS 44 0.4855
5 North Dakota: RPI 11 – SOS 8 0.5435
2 St Cloud St: RPI 16 – SOS 12 0.5274
