Has to do with Quinnipiac and Providence. Amherst to Providence and Manchester is basically the same. But if you can get QU and PC to Providence, great. Just a way of maximizing attendance.

Re: 2019 NCAA Tournament Bracketology
Jim Dahl's forecast has them moving up as high as #10 with a sweep this weekend but they could be as low as #16 as well. But if they were to win out, definitely thinking they'd be at #12 or better. SCSU still goes to Fargo to play the Sioux essentially at home.

Mankato getting their first win. SCSU getting their first title. UMD winning back-to-back. Nah. AIC winning a few games would be such a better story than another team from Minnesota having success.

Won't happen because committee would avoid intra conference matchup in first round.

The argument is that UND will be a 3 seed, thus this would be the QF matchup, not the first round. Were UND hosting as a 4 seed you are correct. Mankato would go there instead.

Fair enough. Doing a little research of my own on it, I think if a link had been included or a couple sentences omitted, this would be fine. Learned something today, thanks.

Given that at large selections and seeding are very reliably predicted (since the NCAA has not veered from the formula in as long as I’ve been paying attention), bracketology seems more appropriate here than it would be on some bouncyball forum.

Re: 2019 NCAA Tournament Bracketology
At this point in the process the Pairwise is about 85% accurate on who will make the field. After this weekend it will be down to a handful of teams that still have a chance. Bracketology is a good indication of who will end up where and it is useful to have discussions like the UMass to Manchester or Providence discussion now so we've already hashed out the question ahead of time. Plus, it increases the chatter about college hockey which is kinda the point of this forum.

Sioux with a 19% chance of getting in. Going to be a tough run especially if the bubble shrinks. Clearest path is winning out and I don't see that happening.

But centered around #14. A subsequent loss, even after a sweep, would push them back down from there. 3 wins and a loss and we might be talking about UND as a bubble team.
I get that too an extent when QU and UMass were both 1 seeds. Minimize travel for both schools. Sure. I also get wanting PC in providence and that UMass and PC can’t play in the first round, and I also appreciate trying to protect UMass as the 2 overall and not risking the same fate Miami and Denver had in 2015. But even when PC was struggling earlier this season on the wrong side of the bubble and QU fell to a 2 seed, UMass was still in Manchester. The USCHO bracketology kept saying “This was done by distance and nothing else.” Do they have a map?

I like the potential CC/NewMass match up in the first round. Before it's a reality the kitties have some more work to do.

Re: 2019 NCAA Tournament Bracketology
Here's an interesting note. Since WMU has been essentially eliminated, that means that there will be no teams from the state of Michigan in the field of 16. This will only be the second time that has occurred since 1979, two years before the field was increased to 8 teams. The only other time this happened in that span was the 2013 tournament.

Only if other results bear it out. For example the ECAC only gets three teams (Quinnipiac, Clarkson, Brown) in this scenario.
