I think it's interesting that this far into the season, the Pairwise still disagrees quite a bit with the polls.Grant Salzano, Boston College '10

There is something to be said for an East-West final, and the proposed bracket is divided perfectly down the middle on geography. East has the top 4 HE-ECAC teams and West has top four CHA-WCHA teams.
Interestingly to note that is a lot of disparity between the East and the West in the NHL this year. Much more compared to years past.Last edited by OnMAA; 12-16-2013, 12:55 PM.

As long as the subject is the Pairwise....
On the men's side, 'TUC record' as a component of the Pair comparisons has been done away with; replaced with a "Quality Win Bonus".
I have asked Arlan if knew whether such a change would also apply to the women, and he said he'd look into it. (He said he doubted that it would, because one of the main reasons for the change - more non-conference games being played, with more of them held at the 'big schools' - really doesn't apply to the women. I countered that another reason given - the "TUC cliff" - would still apply to the women.)
So until further notice and info, take any set of Pairwise calculation that include a TUC record comparison with a large grain of salt.
You can read some more about the mens' change here:

like I said earlier this year, you people out east will try anything and everything to stack the deck to try to win the NCAA tourney except for one thing:
improve
actually, it probably isn't so much an east/west thing, it's more of a Canadians out east thing
