There were several years when RPI was the first or second team out.

I don't know if all the articles were placed up on here, but it looks like Ed Weaver was REALLY busy last night. I'm just going to put http://www.troyrecord.com/sports because there are several articles. Chase, Tyler, Greg, CJ, John, etc.

Being that I don't look much at the Record in the off season, does anyone know what Ed Weaver writes about the rest of the year?

There are many things I do not understand about the PWR. My credentials as a PWR ignoramus are well-established.
However, I would have thought that "flipping a comparison" would only hurt if the comparison were between RPI and a lower-ranked team.
Unless I'm terribly mistaken, UNO, even with their 1-7-1 record against the three teams mentioned, made the tournament and was seeded higher than RPI. How could flipping the RPI-UNO comparison have resulted in the Engineers being out of the tournament?

ValleyCats.
By the way, I want to point out that RPI finished two comparisons ahead of Dartmouth at the end of the day. Flipping a single comparison wouldn't put them out of the tournament - and don't forget that leaving it at Top 25 would have had ramifications up and down the board.

One counts how many comparisons with other TUCs that each team wins to order them. It is certainly possible that a team wins a comparison with a team above them which is balanced by losing one to a lower-ranked team.

Exactly which is why I don't feel so bad about it. I don't feel bad about BU not making it for the same reason.

When my dad was born, it had been 14 years since the Cubs won the World Series. They never won during his lifetime, and he died at 70. They have not won in the 19 years since his death either.
I hope they win during MY lifetime, though I'm not expecting it will happen.
I DO hope RPI makes it to Minneapolis this year, that would be exciting.

The UNO comparison was the only one directly related to the Engineers that was changed, but, as Tom said, comparisons were changed up and down the board. And, any time a team (like RPI) loses a comparison win, whether the team that they lost it to is ahead of or behind them, it brings them closer to the teams behind them (such as Dartmouth).
I hope that that explanation was a little more clear. Sorry for the confusion in my first post.
My apologies for the brevity of my original statement. RPI would have lost the UNO comparison and Dartmouth would have flipped their comparisons with Colorado College and St. Cloud State in their favor. So, the Engineers would have gone from two comparisons ahead of the Big Green to one comparison behind (still tied with CC, actually).There are many things I do not understand about the PWR. My credentials as a PWR ignoramus are well-established.

Yeah, but you can also say if Dartmouth goes just 2-6-2 against Cornell, Yale, RPI, and Union rather than 1-7-2, they make it in. In hindsight, the killer was likely the 2-1 loss to Yale at home. Make that a 2-1 win, and they're in regardless of the ECAC tournament. Dartmouth had only 2 quality wins this year, UNH in ManchVegas and Union at home.
In other words, while it sucks being the last team out for the 3rd time in a decade, there's no real beef this year with the process.

3 weeks without playing. For some teams that would not be good but for RPI it may be what they needed. Feb & Mar they were not playing with that looseness they had in the early and mid part of the season. No one expected much from them after they lost Kitchner Rangers Star Jerry and that other guy Pirri.
Right now no one expects anything from them except me. Barry (trying to copy Don Cherry) Melrose didn't even mention them the selection show. He looked past them and said what a great game it will be with the Fighting Souix and Denver in the final. I like Engineers V Pioneers/ more drama.
A powerplay that is capable (they were very good for a while this season) and one of the best goalies in the country. Score a couple man up goals, Chase is one of the best in the country at finding that little seam on the man up. A hot York and good d zone coverage could be just what the good Dr. D ordered.
I would rather put 50 bucks on them in Vegas than buy a 10 dollar lottery ticket.
