      Knocks Point out of the field, too, doesn't it?

      Gotta love those tourney AQ's.

        UWSP was never in the field. The team that is out is Trinity. UWSP needed to beat UWEC to have a chance at the field. Considering the fact that the first 9 teams in the PWR are all in the field, I'd say the system worked as it should.

          I know this is going to show my ignorance, but how does Babson benefit from being idle for two weeks, after losing to USM, while Trinity played, and won two and lost one during that time? I should have studied harder in math class!

                Now I'm really showing my ignorance... I don't know what that means in this context.

                  The RPI includes the Opponents' Winning Percentage and the Opponents' Opponnents' Winning Percentage. Even when you are eliminated, some of your opponents and their opponents continue to play. This means your RPI (the main factor) in the PWR will continue to change up or down, depending on how your opponents do. Your ranking is interconnected with them. There is a math discipline known as graph theory that explains some of how all this works theoretically. I have a master's degree in graph theory.

                    Okay, beginning to make some sense. I think I played too many games without my helmet! I'm glad that there are people like you who can have this make sense! However, the common sense in me says that there is something wrong with a team sitting around letting someone else do your work, though!

                      Considering the PWR is the sole method used to select the field, it stands to reason that all of the top teams in it through the four at-large teams would be selected.

                        Correct - you are guaranteed to get the top 4 in no matter what, and with the exception of the upset winners, conference champs should rise to the top. Don't forget that the PWR is almost entirely dependent on the RPI.

                            According to SomeRandomGuy and by association NUProf, that is my field too and Hobart has a long trip out west. And have a decent chance of winning.

                              Hobart is really good. Great program and a great addition to the NEHC. When we get Elmira in the fold, it will get even better
