Using this tool, you can play around with the results of this year\u2019s men\u2019s college hockey season and see its effect on the NPI (NCAA Percentage Index).<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Big news this year as the NCAA has decided to get rid of the Pairwise Rankings in favor of switching to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcinterruption.com\/2025\/5\/7\/24425179\/boston-college-bc-eagles-mens-womens-hockey-ncaa-tournament-pairwise-rankings-replanced-by-npi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">solely to NPI<\/a>. The women were already using NPI as part of the Pairwise calculations last season, but the common opponent and head-to-head factors are no more and both sports will now use NPI as its only metric for tournament selection.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">This is our first season hosting either a Pairwise or NPI ranking for men\u2019s hockey here at BC Interruption. We\u2019ve been doing it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bcinterruption.com\/boston-college-bc-eagles-mens-womens-hockey-ranking-calculators\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">for years<\/a> for women\u2019s hockey, but with so many other sources for the men\u2019s rankings out there it didn\u2019t seem worth the effort to go through the work to build it. With the two rankings now aligned a bit closer in their formulas, we did some tweaking to make it easier to add\/remove teams and added in home\/road weighting adjustments so it wouldn\u2019t be too difficult to just pull in the men\u2019s results and host both sports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">It also doesn\u2019t hurt that BCI seems to be, at least as of publication, the only place you can find the NPI for now. Go us.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Should you wish to do some \u201cwhat if\u201d exercises and see what the rankings would be with a different game result, here are some simple instructions:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">A few important notes and tips:<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">If you have any questions, comments, or bugs to report, I can be reached at grant dot salzano at gmail dot com.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"***Have I fallen behind on refreshing the rankings?
