Rankings

[Kevin Smith]

Not all losses, or wins, are created equal. I saw some D1 games at WCRHL regionals last weekend and saw ASU give UCSB (the best region's best team) 1 of their toughest games of the weekend. I saw ASU give Long Beach State (defending national champs) a 1 goal game that went to the buzzer. I didn't see ASU's game against Cal Poly (2nd place at nationals last year) but looks like they had a 3rd period lead before losing that one.

I haven't seen ASU play other than that but you say they were missing guys? I'd pick them for nationals not even knowing that. If I'm on the committee, I see an 0-4 regionals record but I pick them because that's 0-4 with close losses to 4 teams that are without a doubt all top 10 in the nation.

Touche. Great point made. This is what's been missing if you want to argue that ASU gets in. Thanks for bringing a different perspective to the argument, that is what it's all about.

Not the seven which were selected last year. Not that it matters, George Mason did get a bid last year.

It doesn't really mean that if you doesn't make it to the nationals you are not an eligible and competitive team. It takes right time and coaching staff to make your team succeed. Every team starts from scratch and it is very essential to every team to have the best coaching staff specially on collegiate league..
