2013-2014 Women's D-I PairWise Contentions and Affirmations

if und beats them in the 5th game, they better not play a 6th :)

When the Gophers have won the fifth meeting, it hasn't changed the scheduling at all, so I doubt that UND winning would be cause for a change either unless that caused a major shift in the bracket. Right now, that doesn't look likely.

The RPI is starting to resemble a ten car pileup behind Wisconsin.

Try reading his whole sentence and not just the first clause.. You have confused tenses.

Eeyore is correct regarding the meaning of my original post. I did, however, fail to start it with "In the past …" to make the meaning crystal clear. After the comment about Minnesota not being ranked No. 1 again for a long time prior to UND's visit to Minneapolis in November, I'm surprised that northhockey is now so anxious to play the "disrespect" card. I guess we hold others to higher standards. But just to dispel any remaining reading comprehension issues, I think that the outcome of any possible WCHA or NCAA meeting between North Dakota and Minnesota is still in doubt.

You funny. Are you being just as Confident, or are you talking about future years ? :D

north is just being overconfident, everyone knows that BC is going to skate circles around the WCHA like they have in years past.

At least they would skate circles around Minnesota as I read somewhere that Hannah Brandt is slowing the whole team down.

But the question is can they put the puck in the net when it counts ?.

Newest bracketology is an easy one:

#8 North Dakota @ #1 Minnesota (no flight)
#7 Boston College @ #2 Wisconsin (ugh) (flight)
#6 Robert Morris @ #3 Cornell (no flight)
#5 Harvard @ #4 Clarkson (no flight)

I believe if BC flipped the comparison with RMU (I think this will necessarily happen this weekend with RMU playing Cuse -- either RMU will sweep and knock Cuse out of TUC status [or close to it] or Cuse will take one of the games and give RMU an extra TUC and CoOp loss) then you would see RMU go to Wisconsin (flight) and BC to Cornell (not a flight).

Two things: unless BC is looking forward to a trip across the Penn/Ohio turnpikes, you have a typo at BC-UW flight/no-flight; and with Wisconsin still facing at least the possibility of three losses still to come (and that's assuming they escape Ohio unscathed), there's a real possibility of them not being able to maintain their #2 position. So you could end up with BC-vs-UW as #7-vs-#2 or as #6-vs-#3.

(Of course, the Badgers could also win a couple of those games, too!)

Woops -- thanks!

And yeah, you're right about Wisconsin losing a couple more possibly. They have a pretty sizable lead on Cornell though -- Cornell would probably have to win out and win the ECAC. Not exactly improbable though, like you implied.

If you look at North Dakota's RPI before and after dropping two to Minn (along with all the other games that go into RPI), they lost .0140. If you take .0140 off of Wisconsin's RPI, it puts them pretty close to Cornell's current RPI. Now that may be a simple-minded way to look at a complex calculation, but...

It seems logical to me. Good enough for something we can't control.
