Re: Bracketology

Priceless, I know you're throwing out multiple scenarios, but again, there is a 0% chance the St. Cloud/Bemidji/UMD group wouldn't be in the West if things stay the same.

LOL at possibly playing two ECAC teams and "being screwed" used together.

This is the bracket I would expect.
 
Re: Bracketology

Denver with the #1 overall currently and being sent out to the furthest regional in that scenario. I think that is more screwing the Pios than anything else.

does it matter where they go? they have a long flight anywhere they play. unh in worcester would bring a good crowd, but it wouldn't be humongous and it is unh in the playoffs after all. that place is a decrepit place to play and no one wants to go there, so in that respect they'd be getting screwed.

IF Denver is the #1 overall seed, they will get sent to St Paul. You heard it here first. Denver to St Paul is NOT a long flight, unlike the others sending them out east. Heck, I wouldn't even fly, I'd drive. But I'm not a college hockey player not concerned with the costs of flights. HOWEVER, i'm not opposed to screwing over the Pios and sending them out East. They were in Minneapolis last year for regionals and I think they're going across the river for regionals this year.

Umm not if there's a bracket that would have St. Cloud, Bemidji, and UMD. Not gonna happen.

flip flop Yale and BC?? No?

The bracket he quoted is based on regionalization with higher seeds getting a priority. Yale is ranked #6 and their closest regional is Worcester, not Albany. Plus you can't have a BC/UNH game in the first round.

The NCAA pays for the flight; and as far as the NCAA is concerned, once you get on a plane it doesn't matter where it lands. I wish my travel agent acted the same way :p

Agreed. I'd love going to Albany for this bracket.

I would also go to Albany to watch the stone pillars of SUNY Ithaca knock out the Badgers. And then the second Yale-Cornell game for some sort of championship in the Albany TUC in two weeks. That would be epic.
 
Re: Bracketology

I know all you WCHA folks like to tout the NCAA tournament as the "WCHA invitational" but would any of you mind taking a break from your circle jerk to give a couple of opinions on the CCHA.

I understand the pairwise, but I'm not as good at predicting the future and noticing the trends like many of you. I know Miami is the only CCHA team that is solidly in the tournament. As for Michigan State and Ferris, what is the ceiling for them (without winning the league tournament)?
 
Re: Bracketology

I think when all is said and done...... after all of the conference tournaments are compleated, you will see Bemidji State as the number 1 seed in Saint Paul.

The CCHA is weak, terrible, and irrelevant, why would anyone care about any team in that joke of a league. Jez.

Re: Bracketology

CCHA Teams in contention for an NCAA birth.

Miami - LOCK
Ferris State - Good chance with 3 or 4 more wins
Michigan State - Maybe - Need 4 wins+
Northern Michigan and Nebraska-Omaha - Need lots of help (probably need to win out, might survive a loss in championship game, or beat a strong opponent in 3rd place game).

I would wager we get two teams in the tournament with an outside chance of a 3rd tournament berth if someone really heats up late.

because that weak and irrelevant league has placed a team in the national championship game for 3 years in a row and walked away with a title in one of them. They play big in big games in March and April.

I see no correlation. You are clearly just living in the past ;)
