Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

What is the second tie breaker if two teams are tied have the same RPI.

I managed to get UND, St. Cloud and BC all tied at 4th. However, UND and St. Cloud would have the same RPI at .5562. Any idea on what the next tie-breaker is? Would it be head-to-head, which UND wins in my scenario?

RPI goes beyond four decimal places you know...
 
Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

This is the scenario I am personally hoping for this weekend:

HEA
HE Semi #1: BC
HE Semi #2: BU
HE Final: BC

CCHA
CCHA Semi #1: Ferris
CCHA Semi #2: Miami
CCHA Final: Miami
CCHA Consolation: Michigan

ECAC
ECAC Semi #1: Cornell
ECAC Semi #2: Union
ECAC Final: Cornell
ECAC Consolation: Brown

WCHA
Final Five Play-in: UND
Final Five Semi #1: St. Cloud

Final Five Semi #2: Denver
Final Five Final: Denver
Final Five Consolation: Wisconsin

AHA
AHA Semi #2: RIT
AHA Semi #1: Sacred Heart
AHA Final: RIT

Gives you this for PWR:
1. Miami
2. Denver
3. Wisconsin
4. Boston College
5. St. Cloud
6. North Dakota
7. Cornell
8. Bemidji State
9. Ferris State
10. Yale
11. Alaska
12. New Hampshire
13t. Northern Michigan
13t. Vermont
25. RIT
— Alabama-Huntsville

2 for 2 so far. Keep it up WCHA!

RIT advances.
Cornell eliminates Brown. They're in.
The winner of the NMU/Ferris game is in.
 
Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

NMU wins in OT. They're in.
Ferris needs the autobids to be Cornell, Miami and BC...

5 out of 6 so far. The NMU win doesn't change much, just basically swaps Ferris and NMU's position.
 
Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

UMD needs: RIT to lose the final AND Ferris State to lose the consolation game.
 
Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

There are some scenarios with most of the favorites winning that put both Vermont and UNH in as 4 seeds. Avoiding a matchup with BC could really shake up the regionals as BC would be playing UAH or the AH winner.
 
Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

Wisconsin better hope Denver comes back to beat UND because with North Dakota winner the WCHA, Denver winning the consolation game, they could become a 2 seed.
 
Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

Priceless, what does it mean for BC that all three teams ahead of them in the PWR lost?
 
Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

Today's bracketology:

Code:
[B]Albany			Worcester		Fort Wayne	St. Paul[/B]
Denver			Boston College		Miami		Wisconsin
Cornell			North Dakota		Bemidji State	St Cloud
NMU			Alaska			Yale		Ferris State
RIT			UMD			Huntsville	UNH
 
Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

If all higher seeds win tomorrow, Denver/Miami/BC and Wisconsin are the 1-seeds.

Everyone makes it but UMD.

If all higher seeds except Sacred Heart wins, UMD is in and Vermont is out.

If all higher seeds win, but Michigan takes the autobid, everyone makes it but UMD and Ferris.
If all higher seeds win, but Michigan and Sacred Heart win the autobids, everyone makes it but UMD and Vermont.

If all higher seeds win, but Maine takes the autobid, UMD and Vermont are left out.
The same is true if Union takes the autobid.

If all higher seeds win, but Ferris takes the 3rd place game, UMD is out.

If all 3 autobids are taken by Union, Maine and Michigan (and higher seeds win), then St Cloud is a #1; Ferris, Alaska, UVM and UMD are out.
The same is true if Sacred Heart wins.
If NMU wins, but the other 2 autobids win, UNH, UMD and UVM are out.
If Cornell or BC win, but the other 2 autobids win, Ferris, UMD and UVM are out.

UMD is out for these scenarios.
If all favorites win except in the CCHA, UNH is out.

A win by UND over SCSU and Denver over Wisconsin makes UND a number 1 seed. :eek:

I think if mich wins its game and Ferris wins its consolation game , unh is in trouble
 
Re: Bracketology and the PairWise Rankings II

I also think Alaska is in.

EDIT: Nevermind, they are in trouble if Michigan and Union win tomorrow
