The NCAA revealed its first public edition of its Regional Rankings<\/a> today. These will be issued every Tuesday leading up to the announcement of the NCAA field on March 8.<\/p>\n

The criteria used to rank the teams are:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Win-loss percentage against regional opponents;<\/p>\n

\u2022 Strength-of-schedule (only contests versus regional competition) to include:<\/p>\n

Opponents’ Average Winning Percentage (OWP) and<\/p>\n

Opponents’ Opponents’ Average Winning Percentage (OOWP).<\/p>\n

\u2022 In-region head-to-head competition;<\/p>\n

\u2022 In-region results versus common regional opponents; and<\/p>\n

\u2022 In-region results versus regionally ranked teams.<\/p>\n

USCHO.com has its own Pairwise Rankings for the East<\/a> and West<\/a> Regions, which attempt to apply these criteria equally, since we don’t know what weight the NCAA is using for each. That would account for the discrepancies between our rankings and the NCAA rankings.<\/p>\n

Here are the teams in order as ranked by the NCAA, with the teams’ ranking by winning percentage in parenthesis.<\/p>\n

East:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Plattsburgh (1)<\/p>\n

2. Elmira (6)<\/p>\n

3. Amherst (7)<\/p>\n

4. Hobart (4)<\/p>\n

5. Middlebury (11)<\/p>\n

6. Manhattanville (3)<\/p>\n

7. Oswego (5)<\/p>\n

8. Trinity (9)<\/p>\n

9. Norwich (22)<\/p>\n

10. Conn College (12)<\/p>\n

11. Williams (13)<\/p>\n

12. Castleton (16)<\/p>\n

13. Neumann (19)<\/p>\n

14. Curry (8)<\/p>\n

15. Nichols (2)<\/p>\n

West:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. UW-Superior (2)<\/p>\n

2. St. Scholastica (3)<\/p>\n

3. UW-Stout (4)<\/p>\n

4. St. Norbert (5)<\/p>\n

5. St. Olaf (6)<\/p>\n

6. Gustavus Adolphus (9)<\/p>\n

7. St. Thomas (8)<\/p>\n

OhhhhhhKayyyy. Check out the West Rankings. No Adrian at all<\/strong>, which the has a winning percentage ranking of #1. We are weighting all criteria evenly, so it looks like the NCAA selection committee is putting a very<\/strong> high weight on strength of schedule, and punishing teams from the ECAC Northeast and MCHA. Look at Nichols and Curry in the East.<\/p>\n

I’ll be back shortly with the first edition of D-III Bracketology, and I’ll be using the NCAA rankings, since those are the ones that matter. Until then, let the arguing begin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
