Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

Yes. Now that you know that, the mole people will be coming to collect your soul. That goes for the rest of you who just read this too.

The Masspike goes right through the BU campus. Is that where the mole people come from?

Does the UMD loss assure a place for Yale?

I can't get them below 11th. It looks like they're in.

Sorry to sully this thread with driving direction debates

Priceless, I hope you are correct about Yale, if so you have made my evening.

Who is Alaska rooting for? I don't have the time to run a lot of scenarios, but the few I did, they still made it in.

Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

yes could you imagine UNH and St cloud in same bracket , lol if they played each other perhaps the game would never end

UNH beat St. Cloud 5-2 in the first game of the Worcester regionals in 2003....

Alaska is hoping for Cornell, Miami and BC to take their conferences so the "cut line" remains at 14. If other teams take the autobid it could squeeze the Nanooks out. For positioning, they want NMU to have a bad weekend.

I feel kind of like the guys who came out with the five blade razor after the SNL skit, in that I'm not supposed to respond to that seriously, but I have actually been working a lot on the question of useful predictions in January...

I'm getting them as low as 12, but I think still in.

More importantly, and why I'm really here, is my own calculations became inconsistent with the USCHO/CHN calculators overnight. From what I can tell, each still forces you to enter a result for the UND/UMD game, but then includes both that result and the actual result. It's easy to demonstrate that by punching in a scenario to which you know the previous results and the RPIs for UND and UMD are different than before. Anyone else, or am I crazy?

This looks fixed now at CHN - USCHO still forces you to enter a result - will probably be fixed soon.
