Re: 2017-2018 D1 Women's Hockey Scores
Can you explain what you mean ? Cornell and SLU represent Clarkson's Top 4 Wins ?
But the formula is:
The tiebreakers in order are: 1. head-to-head record (a wash), 2. wins (a wash if Colgate runs table and Clarkson only loses one-- leaves the two tied. But, I'm assuming a Clarkson tie and Colgate running the table leaves 'Gate with a better W-L ?), and then 3. comparison of results against top four teams, which Clarkson owns. For Colgate to pass Clarkson and win the regular season, Clarkson needs to lose twice. I think a Clarkson tie of one of their 3 remaining games and 'Gate running the table would give it to Gate ( Clarkson @ Q'pac today ? )
As long as the top 4 are CCT, Colgate, Cornell and SLU then Clarkson gets the#1 seed if tied with Colgate in points at the end of the season.
Now, Quinny is the only other team that can possibly sneak into 3rd or 4th. If that happens then todays Clarkson-Quinny Game is the deciding factor again IF CCT and Colgate are tied in Pts at the end of the regular season.
Clarkson loses to Quinny (50/50 chance of this happening) / and beats Dart and Harv while Colgate loses one of their 3 remaining games (HIGHLY UNLIKELY BUT THIS IS THE ECAC)
Colgate is the #1 seed: Colgate has 8 pts (2 CCT, 4 Quinny and 2 SLU or Cornell) while CCT has 6 Pts (2 Colg, 4 SLU or Cornell, 0 Quinny)
Clarkson Ties Quinny (75% chance of this happening) / and beats Dart and Harv while Colgate ties one of their 3 remaining games (UNLIKELY) and wins the other 2 (A LOCK)
Colgate is the #1 Seed; Colgate has 8 Pts (2 CCT, 4 Quinny and 2 SLU or Cornell) while CCT has 7 Pts (2 Colg, 4 SLU or Corn, 1 Quinny)
Clarkson Beats Quinny (I can only hope) / and beats Dart and Harv while Colgate wins their 3 remaining games (99% sure of this)
Colgate has 8 Pts (2 CCT, 4 Quinny and 2 SLU or Cornell) while CCT has 8 Pts (2 Colg, 4 SLU or Corn, 2 Quinny)
Use the Top 8 Tiebreaker
CCT Losses are to Quinny, Prinny and Gate while Gates Losses are to CCT, SLU and Cornell so this is a tie as of today.
Prinny right now is the only one that could drop out of the top 8 (unlikely but before todays games). If Prinny drops out then Clarkson wins the #1 seed since they have 2 losses to teams in the top 8 vs 3 losses for Gate in the top 8.
If Prinny remains in the top 8 then we go to the next tie breaker Goal Differential head to head. Clarkson wins the #1 seed since they won 5-3 and lost 3-4 --> 8 Goals for CCT vs 7 Goals for Gate.
I think I have all the scenarios outlined.
