The USCHO Fan Forum has migrated to a new plaform, xenForo. Most of the function of the forum should work in familiar ways.
Please note that you can switch between light and dark modes by clicking on the gear icon in the upper right of the main menu bar.
We are hoping that this new platform will prove to be faster and more reliable. Please feel free to explore its features.
Let's take a look at who I think are the Locks, the Bubble, and who needs help:
LOCKS:
Curry
Hobart
Utica
Aurora
Should Be In barring many upsets:
St. Norbert
Geneseo
At-Large Bubble:
UNE
Trine
Needs To Win Their Conference AQ:
Endicott
Anna Maria
Fitchburg State
MCLA
St. Olaf
Gustavus...
If there was a number that could quantify a less than 0% chance, that's the chance Trinity has to make NCAA's at this point
But yes, I would love to see a 16 team tournament in D3 one day, but by current NCAA rules, we'd need to get to 96 teams to hit that 16 team mark
Oswego and Eau-Claire enter the picture as AQs, but the overall picture really doesn't change
If you're a bubble team on the at-large line, you're rooting hard for Curry, Hobart, and St. Norbert next weekend, those three conferences hold your potential bid stealers
CNE: Curry (1)
MAC: Wilkes...
Superior holds serve, and Eau-Claire upset Stevens Point in Game 1 of their WIAC semifinals. We run it back tomorrow

Game 1:
#4 River Falls - 1 @ #1 Superior - 4
#3 Eau-Claire - 4 @ #2 Stevens Point - 3

After Plymouth State was eliminated last night, this is where we stand with bracketology:
CNE: Curry (1)
MAC: Wilkes (18)
MASCAC: Anna Maria (23)
MIAC: Gustavus (34)
NCHA: Aurora (3)
NEHC: Hobart (2)

Aside from a shocking 1v8 upset, we go chalk down the line to put Anna Maria in line for their first NCAA tournament berth in their first full season
MASCAC

#8 MCLA - 2 @ #1 Plymouth State - 1
#7 Westfield - 2 @ #2 Anna Maria - 8

Chalk in the SUNYAC, but not without a big scare in Plattsburgh

#6 Canton - 4 @ #3 Buffalo State - 6

#4 Plattsburgh @ #1 Cortland, 7 PM ET
Championship (3/8):

I just love late night NPI changes after games go final....
Fortunately, because of the pod each team was already win, the difference between them getting 1 and 2 is only who they'd play in a Frozen Four
CNE: Curry (1)
MAC: Wilkes (18)
MASCAC: Plymouth State (14)
MIAC: Gustavus (34)
NCHA...
Bracketology through games on February 22nd. A couple of minor changes in the NPI and Utica/Geneseo swap again, but the bracket from last week remains unchanged
CNE: Curry (2)
MAC: Wilkes (18)
MASCAC: Plymouth State (17)
MIAC: Gustavus (31)
NCHA: Aurora (3)
NEHC: Hobart (1)
NESCAC: Hamilton...
The difference between being #4 and #5 in the NPI is the difference between potentially hosting two NCAA tournament games instead of one, everything is still to play for
