2024 Pairwise and Tournament Qualification Thread

Second ECAC team in. Masssachusetts out (I think. Currently 14th, and no one above them is likely to fall below them.) That makes things easier for the Committee.

I agree with ticapnews. It looks like Minnesota v Omaha in Sioux Falls.

Big 10 will have MSU at either a #1 or a #2, and then 2 of Minn, Wisc and Mich also as #2s. The other a #3.

Also, Omaha leads NoDak right now, which could knock NoDak out of a #1.
 
Pretty shocking only 3 hockey east teams will end up getting in. Providence and UMass just had 2 pretty rough months down the stretch
 
UMass can still get into the national tournament if Cornell wins the ECAC.

ETA:

Now that Omaha has beaten NoDak, can you get UMass in with anything other than Cornell and Denver winning their Conference Tourneys?

All you need is a chip and a chair. Just ask Doyle Brunson and the UMD Bulldogs.

UMass fate is on a knife edge. CC's RPI comparison with UMass moves just enough that things like......If St L plays Dartmouth tomorrow, who wins affects the Mass/CC comparison.
Denver's results also affect it. Very tight RPI compare there.

As an example....Denver winning the NCHC, and Dartmouth winning the ECAC gets UMass in.
 
I think the top seeds are all sorted out now.

#1 Boston College (Providence)
#2 Boston University (Springfield unless UMass makes it)
#3 Denver (Sioux Falls)
#4 Michigan State (Missouri or possibly Springfield if UMass qualifies)

North Dakota will likely finish fifth but in the same 2/3 band as Omaha, so they will be traveling.
 
By the way, ignore the Pairwise Probability Matrix on CHN right now. They have Cornell already in as an AQ. So, clearly something wrong there.



Now they are fixing it.

Yeah, I knew something was wrong when I ran a scenario and Maine was 10th!
 
Can Cornell jump Western Michigan to get a #3 seed with a win tomorrow? Also can Cornell hold off Colorado in RPI/Pairwise to land that final 13 spot by jumping Colorado? They are a ridiculous .001 apart in RPI….
