Congratulations to Chase, he certainly deserves both honors. Now lets get him to an NCAA tournament game so he can show the nation what he's got.

I've put in a lot of scenarios and I've yet to see many with you guys not making it in. I'd say you just need to hope for no non auto-bid teams winning.

Thanks so much. You're pretty much the only one keeping me optimistic.

Updated rankings with new KRACH. I also fixed a bug where RIT's KRACH was equal to our's (not sure how it happened), but it shot RIT farther down the order. I double checked everyone else's KRACH and there were no other mistakes.

Individual "what-ifs" coming soon.

"An assistant captain from Edina, Minn., Polacek is just the third player in the league’s 50-year history to earn the Player of the Year Award twice. Rensselaer’s Bob Brinkworth won the award following the 1962-63 and 1963-64 seasons and Harvard’s Scott Fusco was recognized after the 1984-85 and 1985-86 campaigns."
And if they gave the award to the right person in 1985, we would have the only two.

It seems like Western or Dartmouth losing twice have the biggest influence on our chances with other, slightly riskier scenarios still lurking in the wings.
Also, I'm curious to see some of the 11th place scenarios.
ETA: One more thing, teams that need to play their way into the tournament by way of auto-bid (Northeastern, Colgate, etc.) have their "out of tournament" scenarios add up to 100%. Is that supposed to happen? Shouldn't "out of tournament" and "in tournament" combined add up to 100%. Otherwise, fantastic job as usual.
Our range shrunk from 10-19 to 11-17. It's nice to see a couple of the outlier scenarios being eliminated. I'm assuming that we're pretty indifferent about the rest of the WCHA tourney at this point. Same with the AHA tourney (other than we want the UConn / RIT winner to win on Saturday for that huge 0.0002 boost to our RPI).

Surprisingly, my program seems to indicate that the outcome of the CC / UND game is the most important game for us tomorrow, and that we want CC to win. I was quite taken aback when it suggested that. Looking at the data a bit more, it seems that the CC comparison is a lost cause and that a UND win causes UNO to rise past us in the rankings. I sent the data off to Tom; I'm hoping he has a better idea why it would suggest this.
The 2nd most important game, according to the program, is Miami vs. Notre Dame, where we want a Miami victory. That one makes a lot more sense to me, as we still have a shot of flipping the Notre Dame comparison. 3rd most important is Merrimack vs. New Hampshire, where we want a Merrimack victory. 4th is Michigan vs. Western Michigan, where we want Michigan. The rest we're mostly indifferent toward, according to the program -- no single result has a large impact either way in the other 6 games.
Ah, I was hoping no one would catch that. I added auto-bids to the "in tournament" section using a custom case but didn't subtract them from the "out of tournament". I figured it wasn't a big deal as that section isn't as important as the "in tournament" section.

Here's an 11. My guess is they involve eliminating Cornell as a TUC, but I didn't look at very many.
