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.
