Re: RPI 2010-2011 VI- Red Dead Redemption
The sounds of number crunching done by a computer are the sounds of silence.
And the sounds of silence are coming from the 'crowd' at Atlantic City
... yes, Albany & Lake Placid, the ECACHL Commissionaer will take your calls on Monday 
... if he doesn't call you first. 
GO YALE!!! I want Allain & his guys to be all in! Didn't win the RS... but winning the tourney cup would look nice on the mantle.

I think Tom is working on some Qualitative stuff, but here's my quantitative stuff.
Currently - 83.0507%

If Yale wins - 100%

If Cornell wins - 22.0463%

Given a Cornell victory, a Colgate victory pushes us back up to 87.56%. A Cornell victory causes everything to revolve around us dancing with CC and UNO.

Going through this, it seems the only games that actually matter to get to 12th are the CCHA and ECAC games. You can flip Hockey East, WCHA, and AHA and 12 still holds true.

Yes, 8. Looks like they require a WMU win and a ND tie against Michigan.

We absolutely want a Colgate win in the consolation game tomorrow afternoon. It gives us a significantly larger margin for error in the event Yale does lose to Cornell.

That scenario is a nightmare for the NCAA...both BC and Merrimack 1 seeds, and UNH a 4 seed

Yes you are correct - I oversimplified the issue. We actually need a Colgate win plus a Notre Dame loss or WMU win. Then the Yale game is moot.

I was studying that earlier (via my program), and if I recall that is a lock scenario.

With all of the pain that Cornell has caused me over the past 10 years, why does it have to come down to Cornell?!?!

As RHamilton said, that's a lock.
RPI basically has two chances to qualify for the tournament tomorrow.
1) During the early games, that is, the ECAC and CCHA consolation games, Colgate defeats Dartmouth and Michigan either defeats or ties Notre Dame. If both happen, RPI is in.
2) If that doesn't work, we move on to the championship games, and during those Yale defeats Cornell. If that happens, RPI is in. If it doesn't, RPI is out.
It's that excessively simple. If the first one happens and RPI gets in that way, we then watch the CCHA championship and root for Western Michigan to defeat Miami. If that happens, RPI is a #3 seed. If not, they are a #4 seed. Requiring Yale to beat Cornell to get into the tournament will make RPI a #4 seed if it happens.
As far as I can tell, the Hockey East, WCHA, and Atlantic Hockey championship games are either of no importance whatsoever or of extremely minimal importance. None will result in an upset winner and none has a direct impact on any of our comparisons or those of anyone in our vicinity in the PairWise.
Here's the breakdown at WaP: It All Comes Down to This
Worth reiterating that Dartmouth has nothing to play for tomorrow. They cannot make the tournament. The ECAC gets four teams in the tournament if Colgate, Michigan, and Cornell all win.
EDIT: Forgot about the failsafe. If Colgate does not beat Dartmouth, RPI can still get in with a Cornell win, but it requires a tie in the CCHA consolation game and a WMU win. If there is a winner in the CCHA consolation game, RPI is out with a Cornell win and a Dartmouth win or tie. So root for a tie, but if there's a winner, prefer Michigan.
