    I think posting the video to the Sioux fan giving the one finger salute to the Michigan player confirmed that he was upset.

Face it, you're just bitter that you lost to Michigan in the National Semi's last year. For all we know, you were the guy who flipped-off Scooter after he scored the nail-in-the-coffin goal of your season...

      It's more amusing that you're calling someone else an idiot.

      Lowell in the tournament? You mean the team sitting in third in the PWR? Five spots ahead of Michigan? Ok, just checking.

      You really don't know what the hell you're talking about, do you?

        It's not like Ferris State would p!s$ away a tournament appearance after appearing so high in the pairwise *cough* 2010 *cough* or Michigan State would come from way out of the top 15 to make the field *cough* 2006 *cough*

            So noted.

            However, I fail to see how this new information makes him less of an idiot.

              It doesn't. I just wanted people to realize that my quote was completely taken out of context.

              Here was my ballot for this week's forecast: (post #141)
              #1 seeds: Duluth, Michigan, BU, Notre Dame
              #2 seeds: Minnesota, Lowell, BC, Ohio State
              #3 seeds: Merrimack, Union, Denver, Miami
              #4 seeds: Colorado College, Ferris State, Maine, RIT

              I don't think he'd be too upset about it now...

              But of course, I'm an idiot...

                        Not that I doubt you, Priceless. But, right now, with only the UMD/AA game still in play, Michigan's RPI sits at .5596. I fail to see how it could drop all the way to .5545 where you have it, following the conclusion of the UMD/AA game.

                        Can you help me with that?

                        Thanks

                        In fact, now that the game is finished, College Hockey News has:
                        1-UMD
                        2-BC
                        3-UML
                        4t-Mich
                        4t-FSU
                        6t-BC
                        6t-Minn
                        8-Maine
                        9-NoDame
                        10-Merrimack
                        11t-NoMich
                        11t-OSU
                        11t-Union
                        14t-NoDak
                        14t-CC

                        And, I don't know to do that scroll code you do, so I will just leave it like this:

                        Put 7-Minn with 1-UMD, and 8-Maine with 2-BU.
                        Band 3 is all CCHA except Merrimack, so Merrimack has to face 5-FSU. And, you get:

                        1-UMD
                        7-Minn
                        11-NoMich
                        16-AHA Champ

                        2-BU
                        8-Maine
                        9-NoDame
                        15-ColColl

                        3-UML
                        6-BC
                        12-OSU
                        14-NoDak

                        4-Mich
                        5-FSU
                        10-Merrimack
                        13-Union


                        Or, something like that.

                          Also, Priceless, this is just a guess, but I see the RPI's for all the CCHA teams are a little off on your list. Is it possible that you entered that UMD defeated Alaska(Fairbanks) rather than UAA?

                              Grumble. When you said Michigan's RPI was off I knew what had happened...the games from last October still aren't registering. Two wins by Lake State @ UAH and Michigan over Niagara. I had added them in but the script didn't take it.

                              With them properly included:

                              Code:

                                The pairwise still has many twists and turns, but they are also pretty accurate, even this far out. In mid-January the pairwise are 80% on picking the field and 31% on picking the final place. After the Beanpot concludes and non-conference games are mostly finalized, it jumps to 42% accuracy.
