2015 Pairwise Discussion & Predictions

Re: 2015 Pairwise Discussion & Predictions

Playing around a bit, it looks like North Dakota has to win the WCHA tournament to get in. It also looks like Duluth is going to be really hard to dislodge from that #7 spot unless Clarkson wins the ECAC tournament.

Edit: The caveat is that Clarkson will still have a big RPI edge if they lose in the ECAC final, even if UMD loses a final to Wisconsin. It's even larger if UMD loses a semi to Minnesota. Particularly in the latter scenario, I wouldn't be terribly surprised if the committee let that override the slight edges in the other criteria and bump UMD.

If Minn Dul loses and N Dak loses in semi, BU loses to BC and if Clarkson beats Cornell and loses to Harvard, Clarkson and N Dakota are out

If Minn Dul loses and N Dak loses in semi, BU loses to BC and if Clarkson beats Cornell and loses to Quinny they are In and BU and N Dakota are out.

OOPS I think I broke the spread sheet or Grant never thought that this would happen

If I have BU beating BC for the HE championship and Quinny over Clarkson and Minny over Wisco and Mercyhurst over Penn State, The spread sheet has BU in the field and out of the field (Instead of N Dak ????) and Clarkson out??????

Try refreshing the page and plugging it back in. Sometimes it needs a burp.
 
Re: 2015 Pairwise Discussion & Predictions

Nope looks like it screwed up -- top 8 is right but the "first two out" has a reference error. I'll fix it when I get home!
 
Re: 2015 Pairwise Discussion & Predictions

there sure seems to be a lot of scenerios where HE plays HE, ECAC plays ECAC, WCHA plays WCHA

why is there even conference playoffs if you are going to repeat the same games the next week?
looking at the attendance in Grand Forks and even at Ridder NOBODY CARES!
just send the 2 best teams from all the conferences with #2 playing #1 of another conference and be done with it.

if you are not one of the 2 best you don't deserve a shot at the national title

I have always said that the Regular Season Conf title should get a team into the NC$$ tourney. Let the Regular Season Titleholder and the Tourney title holder from each conf into the tourney. If the same teams wins both then the losing team in the conf tourney gets in. :D

This year that would have led to two CHA teams getting in. :rolleyes: Other than the stupid travel considerations, I like the current system.

The NCAA would just have those two teams play again and call it the NCAA quarterfinals. No thanks.
 
Re: 2015 Pairwise Discussion & Predictions

Played with your spread sheet and it looks like as long as North Dak or Bemedji or Northeastern or Uconn or Cornell win the post season tourney, Clarkson makes the field even if they lose to Cornell in the semi's???
 
Re: 2015 Pairwise Discussion & Predictions

The spread sheet still does not like BU winning HE. BU is in and BU is out.

Yes haha that is definitely on purpose. I'm gonna run with that haha...

The top 8 should always be correct, the first two out has a bug that needs fixin'. I don't have my laptop with me here in AZ so I'll have to play with it Monday or Tuesday night.
