2025 Bracketology: The Road to TBD!

The only fair way to run this thing is to limit participation to conference playoff champions only. If a team cannot even win their own conference tournament, what make them think they deserve an opportunity to be more?

I think whatever team in your conference gets to 10 wins first should be your conference representative.

It’s kind of amusing that we are (according to the ncaa mileage calculator) 15 miles away from an essentially perfect bracket and not screwing the 2,6 and 7 seeds. But that would set up the potential for Utica/Geneseo for the 6th time this year so maybe a change of scenery with Trine/Hobart isn’t the worst thing. Though good luck beating Hobart…

5 teams in the west, with SNC and Gustavus playing in a Quarterfinal and Aurora awaiting the winner of EauClaire and Trine in another Quarter? I like your style!
 
Can anyone find a link to view the selection show this morning? I'm not having any luck - but I'm also not the most computer savvy guy...
 
It seems they've finally picked bracket integrity over distance, this bracket rocks

Now that the USCHO has added the NPI to the website, we can start with our bracketology updates for 2025. Per the usual, points% is the factor used to determine conference auto-bids right now, as teams have not played the same amount of games.

Round one of bracketology gives us a very rarely seen 8/5 split in East/West, which makes for a very interesting bracket to start off with, but to make it work with mileage and such, this is what we've got

Auto-Bids:

CNE: Curry (7)
MAC: Wilkes (11)
MASCAC: Plymouth State (24)
MIAC: Saint Mary’s (31)
NCHA: Trine (5)
NEHC: Hobart (2)
NESCAC: Hamilton (14)
SUNYAC: Oswego (22)
UCHC: Geneseo (1)
WIAC: UW-Superior (30)

At-Large:

St. Norbert (3)
Utica (4)
Aurora (6)

Round 1:

Saint Mary’s @ UW-Superior
Plymouth State @ Geneseo
Oswego @ Hobart
Hamilton @ Utica
Wilkes @ Curry

QF:

Saint Mary’s/UW-Superior @ St. Norbert
Aurora @ Trine
Plymouth State/Geneseo v. Wilkes/Curry
Oswego/Hobart v. Hamilton/Utica

Great job putting together the brackets. The West will have to play through the East and earn the right to host the final four. While I don't like to jinx the Statesmen by assuming anything(especially with either Trine or Oswego as their first game), it would be interesting to have a Curry/Utica/Hobart/Geneseo final four, with Curry hosting. If any of the West teams advance to the final four, they likely will host.
