2 for 2 so far. Keep it up WCHA!

if bc loses tomorrow night to "ahem!! ". then that team will knock out uvm and y'all will still get your dream bracket, right?!?

Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

This is the scenario I am personally hoping for this weekend:

HEA
HE Semi #1: BC
HE Semi #2: BU
HE Final: BC

CCHA
CCHA Semi #1: Ferris
CCHA Semi #2: Miami
CCHA Final: Miami
CCHA Consolation: Michigan

ECAC
ECAC Semi #1: Cornell
ECAC Semi #2: Union
ECAC Final: Cornell
ECAC Consolation: Brown

WCHA
Final Five Play-in: UND
Final Five Semi #1: St. Cloud
Final Five Semi #2: Denver
Final Five Final: Denver
Final Five Consolation: Wisconsin

AHA
AHA Semi #2: RIT
AHA Semi #1: Sacred Heart
AHA Final: RIT

Gives you this for PWR:
1. Miami
2. Denver
3. Wisconsin
4. Boston College
5. St. Cloud
6. North Dakota
7. Cornell
8. Bemidji State
9. Ferris State
10. Yale
11. Alaska
12. New Hampshire
13t. Northern Michigan
13t. Vermont
25. RIT
— Alabama-Huntsville

5 out of 6 so far. The NMU win doesn't change much, just basically swaps Ferris and NMU's position.

Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

UMD needs: RIT to lose the final AND Ferris State to lose the consolation game.

[BC/HE]

Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

There are some scenarios with most of the favorites winning that put both Vermont and UNH in as 4 seeds. Avoiding a matchup with BC could really shake up the regionals as BC would be playing UAH or the AH winner.

Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

Wisconsin better hope Denver comes back to beat UND because with North Dakota winner the WCHA, Denver winning the consolation game, they could become a 2 seed.

Priceless, what does it mean for BC that all three teams ahead of them in the PWR lost?

Not Priceless, but it means that we now have a legit shot at the #3. But we can't get higher.

I'll be working on the scenarios in a few...

Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

If all higher seeds win tomorrow, Denver/Miami/BC and Wisconsin are the 1-seeds.

Everyone makes it but UMD.

If all higher seeds except Sacred Heart wins, UMD is in and Vermont is out.

If all higher seeds win, but Michigan takes the autobid, everyone makes it but UMD and Ferris.
If all higher seeds win, but Michigan and Sacred Heart win the autobids, everyone makes it but UMD and Vermont.

If all higher seeds win, but Maine takes the autobid, UMD and Vermont are left out.
The same is true if Union takes the autobid.

If all higher seeds win, but Ferris takes the 3rd place game, UMD is out.

If all 3 autobids are taken by Union, Maine and Michigan (and higher seeds win), then St Cloud is a #1; Ferris, Alaska, UVM and UMD are out.
The same is true if Sacred Heart wins.
If NMU wins, but the other 2 autobids win, UNH, UMD and UVM are out.
If Cornell or BC win, but the other 2 autobids win, Ferris, UMD and UVM are out.

UMD is out for these scenarios.
If all favorites win except in the CCHA, UNH is out.

A win by UND over SCSU and Denver over Wisconsin makes UND a number 1 seed.

A win by UND over SCSU and Denver over Wisconsin makes UND a number 1 seed.

That's what happens when you play in a league that has the National #1 and National #3 playing in the consolation game...
