Questions and answers
Who is favoured to win the 2026–27 national championship?
Wisconsin, at 47%, ahead of Ohio State (42%), Minnesota (5%) and Penn State (3%). That's from 10,000 simulations of the rest of the season with PodiumOracle's current ratings, updated 12 November 2026.
What are the odds for the next NCAA women's hockey games?
According to PodiumOracle's model: Robert Morris at Delaware (12 November 2026): Robert Morris 61%, a draw 11%; Vermont at New Hampshire (12 November 2026): Vermont 45%, a draw 13%; Providence at Connecticut (13 November 2026): Connecticut 88%, a draw 5%. Every upcoming one's chances are on this page and update until the start.
How accurate are PodiumOracle's NCAA women's hockey predictions?
On 1,776 games from held-back seasons (2024–25 to 2026–27), which the model never saw while it was tuned, the side it favoured won 70% of the time. Its log loss was 0.718, against 0.881 for the base rate and 0.799 for recent form.
How are the NCAA women's hockey predictions made?
Every team has a rating that moves after each result, by more when the result was a surprise. The gap between two ratings, plus home advantage, gives each game's chance, and the rest of the season is simulated 10,000 times, with the league's own format, for the national championship odds. The settings are chosen on older seasons and tested on the most recent ones.
