    I'm not sure how the other places are doing it, but I am simulating the games as they would have occurred. To that end, the next simulations (at least here) will be Thursday, April 9, 2020, followed by the National Title game on Saturday, April 11, 2020. FWIW, the Minnesota State v. Boston College simulation will be the afternoon simulation on the 9th, so at least you won't have to wait until that evening for your result.
    Good. We need 10 more days of hype for the FF.

      Well, with FS 23 running one of these simulations, there’s a good chance that ND is going to win one of these...
      I think this was made in jest, but, FWIW, I have no input on who prevails in the simulations. I take the information provided by the CHW simulator, and turn it into a narrative. The results stay the same.

      I would also point out that North Dakota was the only team to make it to the virtual Frozen Four in each of the three simulations. Clearly they were the best team and should win all three simulations.

        It’s also interesting that Cornell made the FF in none of the simulations.

          The term overrated comes to mind.

            As to simulations, I also received this and at least one earlier tweet.



            Clearly, they are not up to the NCAA tourney yet, and there are a lot of baseball and basketball simulations to wade through.

              At least per my simulation, they got placed in a very difficult bracket. Cornell (#3), Boston College (#6), Bemidji State (#9), and Michigan (#12), were all highly ranked via KRACH. Meanwhile, North Dakota got placed in a relatively easy bracket (North Dakota (#1), Clarkson (#13), Massachusetts (#14), and Sacred Heart (#34)). The West Regional (Duluth (#4), Denver (#5), Ohio State (#8), and Maine (#24)) was also a pretty difficult bracket, and the Northeast Regional (Minnesota State (#2), Penn State (#7), Western Michigan (#10), and Massachusetts Lowell (#17)) was fairly average.

                  You can tell them that I graduated from DU's Sturm College of Law, so clearly I am very, very upset too.

                      FWIW, I got my undergraduate degree from North Dakota. Almost went to Michigan for my Ph.D., and then went to DU for law school. That would have been some crazy national championship trifecta.

                        Well, I can't match the total hockey powerhouses of your educational background. My undergraduate degree is from James Madison. Not a rink within an hour of campus. Though I did manage to scrape together enough northerners to put together a floor hockey team that made a deep run in the intramural tournament...

                            Has there been any consideration of the assigned officials? Surely we can't have any of the girly hockey east teams!
