I wondered how these were going to look...1 series against a WIAC school. I'm curious how the WIAC schedule is going too look. If they play 4 games against eachother thats only 12 games....where are they going to fill in the other 13, when the NCHA and MIAC teams only have 7 nonconference games available. I'm sure the WIAC schools will need to avoid playing teams like Finlandia or Augsburg or Marian...if they want any chance of making the NCAA's.

Curious question, as I have not really followed that WIAC split off. What does that do to the Autobid picture for next year. ?

I have to check on this but the WIAC schools will certainly be without an autobid.

There is a possibility that the Pool B bid could return next year however.

Eau Claire
Stevens Point
River Falls
Superior
Stevenson
UNE

All D3 schools not in automatic qualifying conferences. That's six and one short of the required seven needed. That 7th team could be SUNY Canton. I have to check on their full D-III status to see if they count in the ratio because if they do, that will be 7 teams which means Pool B is back and a Pool C bid is taken away leaving just two at-large bids eligible for everybody.

You would assume that with those eastern teams the pool B would be a ticket for the top WIAC team

You have to wonder how high the "strength of schedule" is for the NCHA with the WIAC four removed?

Well they are replacing their 6 games with UWS, UWRF, and UWEC with another game against each other NCHA team..

UWS/UWRF/UWEC's combined record this year was

46-30-8 (or 54.8% winning %)

SNC is replacing those games with games against Adrian, LFC, CSS, Marian, Finlandia and CUW...whose combined record was 57-84-18 (or a 41.5% winning %)
