Rankings: USCHO.com Top 20 Poll

Non-Conference record

Of the sixteen teams that are selected to participate in the NCAA tournament, ten will be via at-large bids. Those 10 teams are determined based upon the PairWise rankings. The rankings take into account all games played but are heavily affected by intra-conference results. The result is that teams from leagues which perform better in non-conference are much more likely to receive at-large bids even if they possess inferior records overall.

Hockey East produced a good record during their non-conference schedule, however, the teams did not receive much of a benefit from those victories. The bulk of the leagues games were played against Atlantic Hockey and ECAC Hockey, the two weakest conferences this season. Despite finishing 20 games above .500 against those two combined, the improvement to each team's PairWise rankings was relatively small. The minimal bonus from these games was largely the cause for the conference's low rankings.
