College hockey rankings prior to the 2018 tournament

By Dr. Ed Feng 2 Comments

These rankings are based college hockey games through March 17, 2018. A least squares algorithm ranks teams on offense and defense based on goals per game adjusted for schedule.

The offense and defense ranks get combined to give the team rankings below. The rating, or the number to the right of each team, gives a predicted average margin of victory against an average Division I hockey team.

Predictions based on these numbers will be posted soon.

      I know, I don’t like bringing bad news. But my numbers were wrong about Michigan in the Big Ten basketball tourney.
