    Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

    Too bad we're all not on "KRACH" as then CC might still "shoot" into the mix... Sorry, tough to make my last post of the year after last night's slaughter.

    Go "Bama", ummmm, UAH, Chargers, or whatever, You guys aren't on CRACK or Pairwise... 44th overall but going to the dance...
    I'm thinking Sconi wins it all.... Will see "Those Guys" this weekend..
    F-it till next year..
    Its just a game, but boy is "College Hockey" Cool..

      UAH or Chargers, please. "BAMA" is an uncultured institution to our southwest that thinks they rule the world because their football team doesn't suck.

          Looks like State loses the tiebreaker to Ferris, even though they are listed first. I hadn't caught that earlier.

            The problem with this one is you have UVM up at 8th..that is going to be tough.

              I know, I wish I would have written down who I had winning the games. It was all completely random as I was just throwing it against the wall to see where it had NMU coming out. I was shocked when I saw MSU in as the last team. I think I had UVM winning the HEA.

                    BC would get the 7 spot by RPI. They list them second for an unknown reason.

                        I got Vermont to 8 by winning HEA, too. I was not able to get MSU in, though.

                          It is -- I just meant that the two sites list the Pairwise differently in that regard ... CHN seemingly rightly lists it breaking ties by RPI, though it's not like the committee has written this down anywhere. But otherwise, I mean, the lists should look exactly the same in terms of comparisons won, etc...

                            if those are in fact, the season ending rpis, i wonder if they took liberties in seeding in this instance, as all three teams were in the field... if they were all tied for the last spot in the tournament i wonder if it would have played out differently
                            As we've discussed before, the committee has shown it would still take the RPI winner in the 14th slot. If you search the articles from that year from the sites - and the board - the issue was well discussed. ..... I've also pointed out before, and got blasted for it - that the committee does not have this rationale set down on paper anywhere. It's simply what has evolved to be their practice. In fact, in the "old days" - the committee did look at H2H comparison as their tiebreaker - and not the RPI. THEREFORE, they could change their mind at any time!! However, I'm not really sure anyone on the committee even knows this anymore - it's become so mindless for them.

                            But the reason I got blasted was vis-a-vis the Wisconsin/Mankato scenario a couple years ago - this very issue. And I pointed to this article to support my argument that the committee -- while not doing anything wrong (as some tried to say) -- certainly could've opted to do it differently...

                            You can see the rationale there laid out better than I can make it ... I tried to make this point that they do have options. But Scooby yelled at me - and that's why I'm the charter member of his fan club

                              Aren't we getting this tiebreaker thing wrong? RPI is the final tiebreaker used to break ties in the comparisons when teams are tied 3-3 or 2-2 etc.. However once they get to total PWC isn't the tiebreaker the winner of the comparison itself as RPI was already used to break the tie, hence it would give a double win by RPI otherwise. That is why teams listed as tied in the PWR are not listed in order of RPI but instead by their relative comparisons.

                                Nope. Again, read the history. Especially the Maine/UMass/SLU one mentioned. And the link in my previous post.

                                Yes, it's being double counted - yes, it puts too much weight on the RPI - but yes, that's how they do it.

                                Whether they should or shouldn't - that's another story. They didn't used to.

                                The USCHO listing is not wrong, per se - because, like I said, it's not written in stone. But in practice, it is wrong. CHN started listing it differently (rightly?) after that UMass/Maine/SLU thingy.
