  1. OMG yes. Listening to him during the WJC's made me think ... "gee.. should anyone else show up in the NCAAs when we should just give yale the title now?" I got sick of it too.

    Is this being put out there for giggles, what is the basis of this these statements. It could be true or not but why twist the tail of the tiger and make our fans look silly.

  2. As has been discussed elsewhere, the Sioux are in the rare position of being in good shape for a tournament bid before New Years. I hope that means we're looking forward to a Spring of watching the Sioux scrap for a #1 seed, but either way there will be rankings to watch...

    UND individual comparisons

    ...and I found myself wondering about this #2 vs #3 game, so thought it a good time to start a thread.

    Though the Bulldogs are currently a spot above UND (PWR), UND is actually winning the comparison by virtue of the RPI tie-breaker. The H2H will clearly take over after tomorrow's game, making it a must-win for UND to remain #3 going into the new year.

    As to the possibility of UND climbing if they win, here are the 3 comparisons UND is currently losing--

    Boston College has TUC (.6364 to .5769) and COP (.8 to .4167). A win this weekend should only make up about half the difference on TUC, not enough to flip it.

    Maine has H2H. No opportunity to flip this one until TUC or COP come into play.

    Yale has RPI. UND's last win over UMD contributed something like .696, so it seems like UND would only rise to something like .586 with a win, not enough to take RPI.

    Bottom line -- a loss almost certainly will lead to a drop, a win at best maintains the current ranking (all other things equal).
