Here's a good one for you, imagine you're on the committee and have these two blind resumes:
These teams have one common opponent, and each lost both times to that team.
Team A
16 wins
2-1 in OT
2-2 in shootouts
4 wins against teams with record of .500 or better
Team B
17 wins
2-0 in OT
0-1 in shootouts
3 wins against teams with record of .500 or better
One of these teams is considered a tourney lock. The other is considered to need a conference tourney win to get the autobid. Now without looking up the teams, figure out who makes the field and who doesn't.

I’d also be interested in knowing the overall record of each team against other teams with winning records.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

So my curiosity got the better of me. I assume we’re talking about Quinnipiac as the lock at 16 wins and MTU on the bubble with 17?
Yeah, honestly I’m not impressed with QU’s performance this year. I think they’re a lock because I think the ECAC team gets an entry and I don’t see them losing. But if they drop a game this weekend and don’t win their tourney, they could easily get bounced by someone like BG who beat them.
The problem I see with Tech is that 14 of their 17 wins are against terrible teams.
If QU gets bounced from their tournament, I think they’re in for an interesting comparison against teams like Tech and BG. I just don’t see it happening.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.

This is going to be the strangest post season ever--on the heels of the strangest regular season ever.
A few observations. The Sioux and the Eagles are hands down the deepest teams out there.
The one and done structure of the conference tournys could lead to the largest imbalance in NC$$ tourny history.
The fact that several regionals may not include fans is killing me (I hear the jokes coming already)
Covid protocols could shrink a field of 16. Do you pick a few alternates for the first round--especially if CC sneaks in (I've lost count how many times they've gone down).
I suspect the committee will do something creative to replace PWR--not involving the much loved media poll leading to a couple of valid surprises.Go Pioneers!

If they get an autobid, fine. But in no way should they be considered as an at-large.
After watching both teams, QU is not better. The eye test will be crucial. If the last bid were to come down to these two, I'd be interested to hear the rationale on why the committee would select them.

In the west, six are pretty much locks (UND, SCSU, UMD, MSU, MN, Wis) and the last three will be between Omaha/NCHC upset autobid, Michigan/B1G upset autobid, and a big glut of WCHA teams. It wouldn't shock me to see the west go 3,3,3, especially if Omaha continues to falter down the stretch and there are no upset tourney winners.That community is already in the process of dissolution where each man begins to eye his neighbor as a possible enemy, where non-conformity with the accepted creed, political as well as religious, is a mark of disaffection; where denunciation, without specification or backing, takes the place of evidence; where orthodoxy chokes freedom of dissent; where faith in the eventual supremacy of reason has become so timid that we dare not enter our convictions in the open lists, to win or lose.
