The PairWise Rankings for college hockey have been released from USCHO.com for the season so far.
http://www.uscho.com/rankings/pwr.php
Explanation here: http://www.uscho.com/FAQs/?data=pwrexplanation
A couple of changes for this season's ranking, which include the following:
-RPI ratings change from 25% win pct.-50% opp. win pct.-25% opponent's opp. win pct. to 25-21-54
-Teams in the PWR (Teams Under Consideration or TUCs) are now limited to the RPI Top 25, no longer any team over .5
-TUC comparison will only be used if both teams have at least 10 games vs. TUCs
-the RPI bonus, added in 2003 for wins vs. teams in the RPI top 15 has been restricted only to wins vs. these teams on the road
All changes fully detailed in this article: http://www.uscho.com/news/id,12675/ChangesToNCAATournamentCriteria.html
With that being said, here's your PWR includes the following of our FCS brethren (with RPI bonus of .03, based off of past use of 3-2-1 bonus):
New Hampshire is currently #1
Maine is #6
Future FCS member North Dakota is #18
Cornell and Yale tied at #21
And that's really it for FCS teams. There is still plenty of hockey left to be played, plenty of times for these 25 teams to shift and for the tournament field to be locked into place
