    They probably would.

    I don't understand the fear of a #14 overall seed to a #2 overall seed.

          I think you underestimate the d-bag factor of the average ugly helmet fan.

            Out of curiosity, why do you have Michigan going to St. Paul instead of Green Bay?

            I had the same brackets out east, but in the west I have Michigan, UMD, Michigan State, and Cornell at Green Bay, with Ferris, MN, Miami, and NoDak in St. Paul.

              If one of them sneezes, the other two move ahead in the pairwise. That's how ****ing close their RPIs are.

                    Ok. After painstakingly fixing all of the playoffs and finalizing the automation of the seeding, wins, reseeding, etc. of the playoffs. Here it is. My David. My Mona Lisa. My Pièce de résistance.

                    The Predicted SELECTION DAY PWR RANKINGS!!
                    1.....Boston College...........32

                    The top RPI teams win during the regular season. Each day RPIs are recalculated and the next day is advanced. During the playoffs the top seed wins.

                      Very cool. Couple questions...

                      1. Why did you switch it from top RPI wins to top seed for the playoffs? Wouldn't it make more sense to keep top RPI all the way through? If you did that, how would it change the rankings?
                      2. Isn't it a little unrealistic that there are 0 upsets throughout the rest of the season?

                        I agree with #1 but #2 cannot be predicted.
                        Bottom Line: If you deserve to win the national championship then don't worry about who you play, when, and where. Just keep winning.
                        Exception: You are right about the refs. They, no doubt, have it in for <insert your team name here>!

                          Regarding #1, I flipped because it's going to likely be the same result. Or very close to it. Changing it up would be a pretty significant change but I might be able to do that.

                          I completely agree that #2 is unrealistic. But it is a combination of two things:
                          1. It's impossible to predict anything but the better team winning since an upset in league play can have such major consequences.
                          2. I'm too lazy to run all scenarios from here on out. I can make spreadsheets with the best of them. I struggle with computer simulations on that scale (although, I've never really tried)).

                            Because the Gophers end up a one seed this way.

                                BC went 2-0 vs a TUC and high RPI team, whereas Ferris twice defeated #48 in the RPI and Duluth beat and tied with #47.
