redwing77 Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 That's a lot of tough games. UND vs. Notre Dame would be a very tough game. Michigan and DU, imo, have just about the easiest track to the Frozen Four. DU has a slightly harder track. I don't see Vermont or Princeton giving Michigan too hard of a time. It would be an awful lot of fun once again helping turn Miami into the SCSU of the CCHA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxguyinstpaul Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Exactly. I knew and said they would be in - weeks ago - and I stand by that even if they are lucky enough to get by St. Cloud in 3 games next weekend and then lose the following Thursday night. Obvious reasons of course. But - hey - what fun is it to have a team host two tourneys and not be in either one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stickboy1956 Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Looking ahead using the "build you own PWR" at Slak.net. If the favorites (higher seed not higher rpi/pwr) win the conf tourny games ... 1. We end up 7. If we want to move up we need Yale to lose along the way. We win that comp now but will lose it once they play 2 more Tuc - that will happen in the ECAC semis/finals. Even if we beat Denver in the F5 they still have a slightly better RPI. It probably would go down if AA takes a game in Den this weekend. If not and Den only loses to us they get 3 in the PWR. To flip VT in the end we need them to lose a game this weekend before they would play and lose to BU in the HE semis (there is no 3rd place game in HE). 2. The play in game is huge for the Gophs - if they lose it to CC, the Tigers pass them for 14 in the PWR (barring unforseen upsets in other conf playoffs that could effect PWR), even if CC loses the next 2 to us and Wisco/Den. 3. But that doesn't mean the Gophers are out because, lo and behold, if the favorites win, the Falcons of AF would be 13 in the PWR. Without any other upsets the Gophers would be last in. The RPI is so close for many of the comps that even one loss for a team if the first round playoffs could have a big impact on the rankings. 1 Boston Univ (HE) 24 .6050 2 Notre Dame (CC) 23 .5883 3 Denver U (WC) 21 .5586 4 Michigan (CC) 21 .5712 5 Vermont (HE) 20 .5614 6 Yale (EC) 19 .5569 7 North Dakota (WC) 18 .5577 8 NorthEastern (HE) 18 .5706 9 New Hampshire (HE) 16 .5529 10 Cornell (EC) 15 .5483 11 Princeton (EC) 14 .5464 12 Miami (CC) 13 .5477 13 Air Force (AH) 12 .5404 14 CO College (WC) 11 .5339 15 Minnesota (WC) 10 .5333 16 Wisconsin (WC) 9 .5316 17 St Lawrence (EC) 8 .5322 18 Minn-Duluth (WC) 7 .5199 19 Ohio State (CC) 5 .5315 20 Boston Coll (HE) 5 .5221 Here the "remaining games" you can plug in at slack.net to do your own rankings.

brianvf Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 The Gophers won the F5, making them 12th. Wow, so if the Gophers win out and take the F5...possibly the best they could do is take 12th? They better not falter (and hope that no one behind them wins out or wins their tourney), otherwise they'll be on the outside looking in. Go Sioux!

So what if you're a 4th seed or 8th? Better to lose to a 10th seed than a Holy Cross. Sure, it's nice to have last line change, but if you're good enough to win, then get in and win.

Hmnnnn...maybe daylight savings time is responsible for the PRI somehow having Minnesota in the NCAA tournament field of 16 despite a 7-9-2 record since January 1st with wins against Michigan Tech, Alaska-Anchorage, Brown, and Northeastern? UMD and a St Cloud sweep are quality wins, I'll spot you that, but still... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedFrog Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Just out of curiosity, I checked to see where our RPI would be if Harvard would have swept Brown instead of being swept. We would be at .5415 in RPI, and .0001 ahead of UNH, thus flipping that comparison. We would then be tied for 5th, but sitting in 7th. Just goes to show how much every game affects the RPI/PWR.

They are 5th in the Pairwise, get your facts straight before you post that garbage. Much much bigger win than both UMD and SCSU, especially since we beat Northeastern without Schroeder, Hoeffel, and Fairchild. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthDakotaHockey Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 I have said it before and I will say it again. Get your West Regional tickets now. Sioux and Gophers are on another post season collision course. Sioux as a #2 seed, Gophers as a #4. Unless, of course, Minnesota has their season ended by Saint Cloud, which could very very well happen. If and once that happens, Sioux are a lock in The John. Of course, I suppose that the Sioux run will put them as a #1 seed. A Gopher #4 seed might send us elsewhere. Hope that that does not happen. Frankly, I would love to see the Sioux end the Gophers season on March 28. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
