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.

NCHC Hockey: Taking a look at the KRACH and Pairwise Rankikngs
By Eric Burton
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.
8 North Dakota .5631 10-5-3 .6389 14t SOS .5378 5
12 Minnesota .5560 11-3-3 .7353 6 SOS .4962 39
14 St. Cloud State .5437* 11-7-0 .6111 18t SOS .5170 17
16 Denver .5296 9-6-3 .5833 20 SOS .5117 23
17 Nebraska-Omaha .5293* 11-6-1 .6389 14t SOS .4907 45
20 Minnesota State .5232* 10-6-2 .6111 18t SOS .4928 44
26 Colorado College .5019 8-10-2 .4500 32 SOS .5192 14
28 Minnesota-Duluth .4995 7-8-3 .4722 28 SOS .5085 27

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.
