PC is not the host, they aren't tied to playing in Providence. Also, two wins against UMass are virtually meaningless in PWR. Wouldn't surprise me if they end up being removed from PC's RPI calculation since they'd likely hurt their number by virtue of simply playing them.

We played them 3 times and still do not have an asterix (and we played RPI...). I doubt UMass will count for much, but right now they (shockingly) are counting for something

I think BU stays East if they end up banded with Harvard. I can't see a Beanpot rematch in Providence or Manchester not being a draw for the committee. Lowell probably needs the same situation. The one thing that will help both schools is if the NCHC/B1G teams end up originally pairing up for interconference 1st rounds. I think once a couple of those need to get fixed the committee will be a bit more liberal with fitting geography

I admittedly know next to nothing about the PWR but looking at where we currently sit (7th) and seeing where UML and PC sit, and knowing that PC will be in Providence and is currently a 2/3 seed (and same with UML).....we go west. What needs to happen to keep us east? Win the HE tournament? Other things?? Not playing this weekend is all well and good but Providence's two wins this weekend will most likely move them up, no?

Currently their are 3 2 seeds from the east (2 HE, 1 ECAC), and 2 3 seeds from the east (1 HE and 1 ECAC). The way things currently stand Union and PC would play in Providence and UML or BU would play Cornell in Manchester, while the other of BU/UML goes west, it's a toss up as far as who stays and who goes.

PC is 12 and will likely not move up by sweeping UMass, because UMass is bad.

PC dropping a spot to 13, and Union dropping a spot to 9, with the other teams staying where they are would result in BU and UML playing Union and Cornell with both games in the east. PC would also probably be the only eastern 4 seed, and they would stay east as well. So that would be a nice result for everyone (besides PC and Union fans who wanted to win the league tournament).
 
Re: BU 2017 Season Thread II: Terriers rising

OK thanks all. I could have sworn PC was the regional host and went back to re-read the article I saw and realized when it said Providence plays host, it meant the city and not the school - d'oh!!

Any opportunity for BU to regain a #1 seed or is that all gone?

CHN has you guys pulling off the #4 overall about 6% of the time. I would bet all 6% of those involve you winning the conference tourni.

According to the Pairwise Probability Matrix, BU's chances in the PWR are:

1 - 0%
2 - 0%
3 - 0%
4 - 6%
5 - 13%
6 - 16%
7 - 17%
8 - 16%
9 - 12%
10 - 10%
11 - 7%
12 - 3%
13 - 0.6%
14 - 0.1%

Thus, only a 6% chance of being a #1 seed; 62% chance of being a #2 seed; 32% chance of being a 3 seed; and 0.7% chance of being a 4 seed.

This week's bracketology had BU in ManchVega$, but if they get shipped west I wouldn't be surprised if Fargo ends up being the destination.

So you're saying there's a chance...... :)
 
Re: BU 2017 Season Thread II: Terriers rising

Do those add up to 100%?

If the boys are swept at home they are still in?
 
Re: BU 2017 Season Thread II: Terriers rising

Well, if they do go west, I hope it's Cincinnati. Flights to Fargo are twice as much than flights to Cincinnati.

It has BU as 99.9% change of being in the NCAAs.

And the Falcons had a 99.9% chance of winning when it was 28-3 in the 4th.
And La La Land had a 99.9% chance of winning around Midnight Eastern Standard Time

Speaking of percentages. Am I the only one who only understands what mookie's talking about 50% of the time?

GLA?
