    2026 Bracketology: The Road to the Aud

    MIAC has been the most underrated conference in D3 for years. It's that parity - everyone is pretty close to .500 every single year.

    Totally, because those would be "good" or even "great" losses.

    2026 Bracketology: The Road to the Aud

    Yes, yes, I understand - "bad" losses trump everything with NPI. I'm not saying that I don't understand, Im saying it's very flawed. My post honestly wasn't a dig at Utica, but if you insist... * Utica is 18-7, Aurora is 23-4-1 * Aurora has played 9 (will be 10) games against USCHO top 15...

    2026 Bracketology: The Road to the Aud

    Adrian has always been accommodating to new programs and open to scheduling them. They also let Hiram use their rink for some Sunday games against other NCHA teams in town to play Adrian on Friday and Saturday. I think this is a result of the lack of respect they received when their program...

    2026 Bracketology: The Road to the Aud

    I get all of this. It's the same old argument as when we had the selection committees - the west has more parity. The bottom half of the NCHA and WIAC are stronger than they get credit for, and the MIAC is basically entirely composed of slightly above average NCAA D3 programs. There is no MAC...

    I think of it this way: SNC doesn't have a 4th line. SNC rolls 4 lines...

    Would Aurora be penalized that much for a road loss at SNC? My gut tells me that if SNC wins the autobid, Aurora gets one of the last at-large berths. Hamilton is in the midst of almost losing 3 in a row, and yet they stay planted at #2 (that's that NESCAC majik...)

    Yep, they swapped. Aurora is now #4 and Adrian is #9.

    Aurora just beat Adrian 6-2 to move to 5-0 vs them this season. Will travel to the winner of SNC vs. Trine next Saturady. Do they stay behind Adrian in the NPI??

    2026 Bracketology: The Road to the Aud

    I've never thought too highly of ACHA hockey, and having the #1 and #2 overall seeds on the same side of the bracket (and apparently the visitors for their second games) reinforces my feelings. https://www.achahockey.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2026/02/M1_2026_nationals_bracket-scaled.jpg

    I believe that was a quarterfinal - not a first round game. http://www.collegehockeystats.net/1314/boxes/madrsnb1.m15
