The Pairwise is pretty weird this year. Look at the comparisons won --

If BC jumps Cornell, we'll STILL be 8th and out. We'll have 29 comparisons won and BU/Cornell will both have 30.
If Ohio State jumps BU, we're STILL 8th and out. We'll have 28, and BU/OSU will both have 29.

It would take BU getting passed by both teams below them for us to move up into 7th. It would surprise me if BU lost two of their last four regular season games, so BC really has to hope to get that BC/BU semifinals matchup.

BC owes it to the hockey gods to win the HEA, or it really just belongs at home with the other 11 loss teams. Given the 2-3 record against mid-tier teams from the WCHA and ECAC, they don't look to be any more deserving than a team like last year's Cornell.

I don't know about that. If BC runs the table and loses to the #3 team in the country in the conference final, it would be hard to argue that BC isn't at least a top 7 team.

Cornell was a top 7 team; didn't do the Big Red much good. Northeastern didn't look like the No. 3 team in the country today. Really sloppy with the puck. At least BU seemed more interested in playing defense, other than the first PP goal, where they kept backing up and just gave away the first shot.

I fully understand that BC has top-5 talent. It just doesn't play like it very often.

Jesus, I have no idea what USCHO is doing. They have BC ahead of BU and they're including all the games. And none of the RPIs are even close.

Their Pairwise is just a disaster this year. w t f.

What a ridiculous weekend. Legitimate four way battle for that home-ice quarterfinal spot now.

There's plenty of time for all of them to lose another 2-3 games.

Clarkson, Cornell, BC, BU and Princeton - one of them is going to get home ice for the NCAAs, and one of them (at least) won't make the tournament at all. And we have no idea which is which.

Crazy.

(Adding, if you were ever going to argue for a 12 team tournament, this would be your year.)

What? We don't get ice cream with our bracketology??? I'm going to blame the NCAA for that!!! Otherwise, thanks Grant. :)

I see that the USCHO Pairwise/RPI numbers now match yours. Attention to detail wins again!

Yes! Nicole Haase did some harassing to the powers that be to finally get them to correct their numbers -- they even have the eligible teams right!

But they don't even mention ice cream, so your place will always be secure. :)

Just for kicks, here's another hypothetical BCS Rankings:

Rank | USCHO | USA | Computer | BCS Rating | Team Name
1 | 0.9867 | 0.9895 | 0.9500 | 0.9754 | Minnesota
2 | 0.9133 | 0.9105 | 0.9500 | 0.9246 | Wisconsin
3 | 0.7800 | 0.8000 | 0.8000 | 0.7933 | Northeastern
4 | 0.6400 | 0.6158 | 0.6500 | 0.6353 | Clarkson
5 | 0.6800 | 0.6842 | 0.5250 | 0.6297 | Cornell
6 | 0.3800 | 0.4526 | 0.5750 | 0.4692 | Boston College
7 | 0.3600 | 0.4053 | 0.3000 | 0.3551 | Princeton
8 | 0.3067 | 0.3158 | 0.4000 | 0.3408 | Boston University
9 | 0.2133 | 0.1263 | 0.2000 | 0.1799 | Ohio State
10 | 0.2267 | 0.1842 | 0.0500 | 0.1536 | Colgate
11 | 0.0133 | 0.0158 | 0.0750 | 0.0347 | Providence
12 | 0.0000 | 0.0000 | 0.0250 | 0.0083 | Minnesota Duluth

The top 5 are the same as the PairWise, but turn of the century college football would switch around the logjam of teams from 6-12.
