Re: Bracketology

Has anyone found a way that gets Wisconsin into the top spot? I can only get them as high as 2nd.

Nope. And Wisconsin only gets that high if Miami finishes 4th in the CCHA and Wisconsin wins the WCHA. Miami can finish 3rd and still be the overall #1
 
Re: Bracketology

What I have for NMU is that if North Dakota beats Duluth in the WCHA play in, NMU is in, provided there are no more major upsets. One win definitely puts NMU in the NCAAs.

Nope, the highest I've gotten them is a four. They have to win the CCHA to get in. Northern and Ferris could probably both get in, as long as the loser of that matchup wins the third place game.

As near as I can figure UAF needs either Boston College or New Hampshire to win Hockey East; Cornell or Yale to win the ECAC; and for Michigan and Minnesota-Duluth to lose their next games.

That might be hard for them to do...

I found one. Really crazy, but anything could happen. It would involve Air Force, Brown, and Boston Univ winning their tourney's.

CCHA:
Northern over Ferris
Michigan over Miami
--------------
Miami over Ferris (3rd place)
Michigan over Northern (championship)


ECAC:
St. Lawrence over Union
Brown over Cornell
--------------
Brown over St. Lawrence (championship)
Union over Cornell (3rd place)


Hockey East:
Boston University over Maine
Vermont over Boston College
--------------
Boston University over Vermont (championship)


WCHA:
Minnesota-Duluth over North Dakota (4/5 game)
--------------
St. Cloud State over Wisconsin
Denver over Minnesota-Duluth
--------------
Denver over St. Cloud State (championship)
Minnesota-Duluth over Wisconsin


Atlantic Hockey:
Air Force over Sacred Heart
Canisius over RIT
--------------
Air Force over Canisius (championship)


1. Denver (WCHA Champs - Auto Bid)
2. Miami
3. Wisconsin
4t. Boston College
4t. North Dakota
6. St. Cloud State
7. Bemidji State
8. Yale
9. Northern Michigan
10t. Minnesota-Duluth
10t. New Hampshire
CUT OFF LINE ---------------------- CUT OFF LINE
12. Vermont
13. Michigan (CCHA Champs - Auto Bid)
14t. Ferris State
14t. Alaska
16. Boston University (Hockey East Champs - Auto Bid)
17t. Michigan State
17t. Cornell
19t. Colorado College
19t. Union
19t. Maine
22t. Nebraska-Omaha
22t. Minnesota
24. Mass.-Lowell
25. Northeastern
— Air Force (Atlantic Hockey Champs - Auto Bid)
— Brown (ECAC Champs - Auto Bid)
— Alabama-Huntsville (CHA Champs - Auto Bid)

BU, and the other three would be the 4's. Michigan would be the last #3.

Well, there's the problem of Quinnipiac not being in the ECAC semifinal.

I think Vermont and UMD are the most volatile teams left. They can finish anywhere from #2 seeds to out of the tournament.
 
Re: Bracketology

A pairwise neophyte Yale fan hanging on to anything positive these days would appreciate some comments on this quote from Jayson Moy . Thanks.

"I have not been able to get Cornell and Yale out of the tournament as of yet, but I think that there are scenarios that can leave either team out, I just have not found them. It may or may not be the case."

They both look pretty solid. St. Cloud's win tonight really helped the Eli.
