    There are several articles going around trying to make some sense of the Pairwise:

    Here's mine which is BC focused:

      ... even though BU gains a head to head point against BC in the semifinals, it doesn’t affect the two teams’ common opponents record... but BU losing to PC does just enough to drop the comparison into BC’s lap.
      It wouldn't be unprecedented for the committee to decide that a +2 advantage in H2H trumps a PairWise win based on a slight advantage gained by BU losing in the HEA final that made a change in COP.

        Yeah, most of those "just win, baby" folks have mush for brains now if they are even still alive.

        Football still has safety issues but thankfully there are better player safety rules than when these idiots played.

            Oh yeah and there probably is a point relating to some eastern team, nobody shows up to watch, needing to win to take care of bidness, right?

              And so you thought of me? I can't say you were wrong!

              I wish that the action over the next couple of weekends was a bit more spread out. Princeton at Cornell starts a couple of hours before the WCHA tourney, but with the weather forecast, I'll likely be on the road for most of it and there won't be opportunity to watch the games outside of Minneapolis. The NCAA quarters wind up pretty much the same way. You wait all season for these games, and then they're gone in a blink.

                      I'm at the BC game so I can't really run the numbers but I think Princeton losing means BC should be in as long as UM or UW wins WCHA, yes?

                          For the ECAC Teams To get into the NC$$
                          Clarkson in no matter what happens
                          Cornell is in unless BC Beats BU, they lose the ECAC Title to Colgate and Ohio State wins the WCHA
                          Colgate - Win the ECAC
                          Princeton - BC Beats BU, Clarkson or Cornell win the ECAC and Wisco or Minny win the WCHA

                          If Colgate beats Cornell for the ECAC Crown and Northeastern beats BC for the HE Crown and Wisco or Minny win the WCHA

                          3 Northeastern
                          4 Clarkson
                          5 BC
                          6 Cornell

                          So will the committee send Cornell to Northeastern and BC to Clarkson or will they save on bus travel/hotels and have Clarkson - Cornell and BC - Northeastern as the games?

                          If Ohio State wins the WCHA then we have Cornell out of the NC$$

                          3 Northeastern
                          4 Clarkson
                          5 BC
                          6 Ohio State

                          Will the committee save on bus fare and send Ohio State to Potsdam and have BC - Northeastern replay

                            Tomorrows results appear to be shuffling of the 1,2 and 4, 5 and 6 seeds.

                              Which means Princeton and Syracuse fly to the Midwest, and the committee, if they are thinking at all, make 2 ECAC v HEA games.

                              Loser of Corn/Clark at Northeastern
                              Winner of Corn/Clark vs BC. BC at home only if they win.

                              That's too simple, though, so they will mess it up somehow.

                                FWIW: Wisconsin played both Syracuse and Princeton in Madison this season. Syracuse in December, 6-1 and 9-1 wins; Princeton in October, a 4-3 win (that was that close) and a 3-0 win (that was 1-0 well into the 3rd period).
