Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

On the predictor I just came up with a scenario to get Michigan State in with a 14th ranking in the pwr. RIT 15th and Alabama-Huntsville 16th.

Has anyone else been able to accomplish this?

My 1st thru 14th.

1. Denver
2. Miami
3. Wisconsin
4. North Dakota
5. Cornell
6. Boston College
7. Bemidji State
8. Vermont
9. St. Cloud State
10. Northern Michigan
11. Yale
12. Alaska
13. New Hampshire
14. Michigan State

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

No, what criteria did you use?

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

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.

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..

Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

I also couldn't get BC below a 6, but came across a scenario where they finished 7. I don't remember exactly, but I think it was Vermont over BC, Cornell and St. Cloud winning the WCHA. That knocked them down to 7.

Ahhh yeah maybe. I remeber Cornell getting up to 7 with BC winning so I assume they would be able to do that with BC losing their first game too.

Good call.

I have no idea. :-)

I've been playing with it for about 30 minutes trying to find a scenario where NMU doesn't make it and I was only able to find scenario so far. On one of clicks through it had MSU with the 14th slot and I didn't write down who I had the winners being.

Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

Must be

I just want to see NMU make the Tourny...thats why Im cheering for no more upsets. If Northern falls on their face again in Detroit there is still a chance for them to make it, so minimal upsets across the board.

And yeah, even if UNH makes it...its not like they will win the whole thing

I plugged in an upset in ever round of the conference tournaments (with the lower seed winning every game, except for the NMU-Ferris game and the NMU-Miami 3rd place game), even the 3rd place games.

If that happens (and there's no way every single game will be an upset with the lower seed winning) then NMU will be the last team out (basically 17th with Canisius taking the 14th spot, Brown 15th and Alabama Hunstville 16th).

With that being said, I like our chances of making the tourney, even as the last team in.

Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

What if it comes down to two teams tied at 14th for the last spot in the tournament?

Like would they still take team 1 if this were the case? Like to decide who gets in the tourny, not just seeding?
Team 1
PWR: t14
RPI: .5300
H2H: 0-3-0
Record: 17-17-3

Team 2
PWR: t14
RPI: .5298
H2H: 3-0-0
Record: 20-17-0

Judging from the past, it would be straight RPI. Team 1 would get in.

Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

Just wondering what scenario has BC as a 7? The worst I could get them is as a 6.

I also couldn't get BC below a 6, but came across a scenario where they finished 7. I don't remember exactly, but I think it was Vermont over BC, Cornell and St. Cloud winning the WCHA. That knocked them down to 7.

Why, you're almost a visionary! Now prove your potential power of prophecy by divining something less obvious.

Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

2007. St. Lawrence, UMass, Maine. UMass had won 4 straight games over Maine AND won the comparisons over both, and was still given the 4 seed behind SLU and Maine. I remember a lot of us had that wrong, because we broke ties H2H or by comparisons, but it's straight RPI.

What if it comes down to two teams tied at 14th for the last spot in the tournament?
