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.

While the conference on the whole had losing records against three other leagues, two thirds of member teams were at or above .500 for their non-conference records. The result was that most of the ECAC teams were not adversely affected by the league's subpar record, resulting in the conference overperforming in the pairwise rankings when compared to both the CCHA and Hockey East.
