The Masspike goes right through the BU campus. Is that where the mole people come from?

Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

Sorry to sully this thread with driving direction debates:)

Priceless, I hope you are correct about Yale, if so you have made my evening.
 
Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

Who is Alaska rooting for? I don't have the time to run a lot of scenarios, but the few I did, they still made it in.

Alaska is hoping for Cornell, Miami and BC to take their conferences so the "cut line" remains at 14. If other teams take the autobid it could squeeze the Nanooks out. For positioning, they want NMU to have a bad weekend.

I'm getting them as low as 12, but I think still in.

More importantly, and why I'm really here, is my own calculations became inconsistent with the USCHO/CHN calculators overnight. From what I can tell, each still forces you to enter a result for the UND/UMD game, but then includes both that result and the actual result. It's easy to demonstrate that by punching in a scenario to which you know the previous results and the RPIs for UND and UMD are different than before. Anyone else, or am I crazy?

This looks fixed now at CHN - USCHO still forces you to enter a result - will probably be fixed soon.

You think the NCAA will reward DU and adhere to "a flight is a flight" mentality" by sending them to the Albany Regional instead of their closest geographical Regional in St. Paul? Do you see a scenario where BSU could end up in the St. Paul Regional and what would this involve? Thanks!
 
Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

Wouldn't Huntsville end up being the #16 seed (lower Pairwise than RIT) and face Denver in their regional?

Yes, but we've been flipped before to put the AHA champ in the East/Northeast Regional and putting UAH in the Midwest. This happened in 2007, when we were all expecting a much longer trip than Grand Rapids.

Theoretically, yes. But I think it's a case of estimating the effect geography wil have in filling the seats at the regionals. RIT in Albany would be best for that. Denver will have to fly anywhere, and Miami will be best situated in Indiana for the same reason. At least, that's my guess.
