PairWise Comparison Ratings
Note: This chart is updated as each game result comes in.
Go to 'You Are the Committee' to figure out who will make the NCAAs based on future results.
Note: These results could be subject to dramatic fluctuations once the Teams Under Consideration (TUC) criterion kicks in. Record vs. TUC is a main part of the comparisons, but only once a team has 10 such games played. See the primer for more information.

Note: This chart represents the system used by the NCAA to select and seed teams for the NCAA Tournament. A detailed explanation can be found in our Primer. For the purposes of NCAA eligibility (and therefore KRACH), a team's record is based only on games against other Division I hockey schools which are eligible for the NCAA Tournament.
Note: *-RPI is adjusted because "bad wins" have been discarded. These are wins that cause a team's RPI to go down. (Explanation)
Note: CHN endorses KRACH as a replacement for the RPI.
