keikla Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 This weeks INCH 4x4 has Michigan, UND, Cornell, and Wisco in the Minneapolis region. Yuck. Quote
Oxbow6 Posted February 27, 2009 Posted February 27, 2009 This weeks INCH 4x4 has Michigan, UND, Cornell, and Wisco in the Minneapolis region. Yuck. So when did the Frozen Four '09 get moved to Mpls? Wow...that would be a tough draw for all! Quote
jimdahl Posted February 27, 2009 Author Posted February 27, 2009 while we go to bed with thoughts of a one seed in our heads. that could bring up an interesting scenario should that happen(which I don't think as we probably won't go 4-0 over the next two weekens). I agree Quote
RedFrog Posted February 28, 2009 Posted February 28, 2009 the Sioux have moved upto 9th. And Mankato is back at #25 in RPI, thus making them a TUC again. See if they can maintain. St. Cloud down to #21 in RPI, would like them to stay top 25 as well. What better way than by beating Denver tonight? Quote

rochsioux Posted March 1, 2009 Posted March 1, 2009 With a win today we should take two more comparisons (Yale, NH) and move up to #7. With a loss or tie we will stay at #9. CC will move to #13 with a win, #17 with a loss, #14 with a tie. Quote
AussieSiouxFan Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 So with all the other scores from around the NCAA this weekend, what is UND's current ranking? Quote
redwing77 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 So with all the other scores from around the NCAA this weekend, what is UND's current ranking? I'm guessing #7... only because someone said it in the UND vs. CC Sunday Game thread. Quote
Snake Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 So with all the other scores from around the NCAA this weekend, what is UND's current ranking? I just checked USCHO and they have us tied for 7. Quote
nodakvindy Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Yep UND is up to #7 and if the season ended today I'd guess the brackets would go like this. Of course, luckily it doesn't and UND can continue to move up with victories. Bridgeport 2 Notre Dame 15 Air Force 7 UND 9 Yale Minneapolis 4 Denver 14 Ohio State 5 Northeastern 12 Princeton Manchester 1 BU 16 Bemidji 8 New Hampshire 10 Cornell Grand Rapids 3 Michigan 13 Minnesota Duluth 6 Vermont 11 Miami Quote
Upper Deck Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Wow, Zajac has a true hockey smile... Yeah, that's a true hockey playa. Ironically, my son's Mites team is sponsored by a dentist. Quote
ssayler13 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I just checked USCHO and they have us tied for 7. On collegehockeynews.com they have us in sole possesion of 7th place in the pairwise. A couple of more good weekends and we might even be able to snag a number 1 seed, but thats a ways off yet, but we can all cross our fingers. Quote
siouxnami Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Yeah, that's a true hockey playa. Ironically, my son's Mites team is sponsored by a dentist. Not a sponsorship, an investment... Quote
redwing77 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I wish the season ended today. I like our bracket. ND is the only team in that bracket that really would give us trouble. Yale can't keep up with our speed. Air Force will be a non-factor (though I'd LOVE for them to knock off ND). Not sure which bracket would be considered the easiest path to the FF. Perhaps MN. DU could beat anyone in that bracket. Northeastern would give them the most trouble, but that's about it. Quote
Goon Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I would love to see UND pound Yale for about 8 goals. Quote
jimdahl Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 A sneak preview of the forecast... (as of next Monday Mar 9, incl. Sunday's Providence v. BU outcome) Quote
Big A HG Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 A sneak preview of the forecast... (as of next Monday Mar 9, incl. Sunday's Providence v. BU outcome) Boy, sweeping and dropping a spot wouldn't be very fun. Quote
jimdahl Posted March 2, 2009 Author Posted March 2, 2009 Boy, sweeping and dropping a spot wouldn't be very fun. I know, this is the most bizarre forecast I've seen -- if these numbers hold up, a sweep has a high 20's% chance of us dropping 1, a high 10's% chance of us dropping 2. That's a big part of why I posted it as a sneak preview: 1) I thought it was fascinating enough that I wanted to share, but 2) I'm suspicious enough that I'm doing some extra investigation to make sure I believe those numbers before posting them on the front page. I haven't made any changes that I think could be causing problems, but I'll do some confirmation of specific scenarios in the next day or two. Quote

What happened to the win out and have these great odds at a #1 seed?!? I know we tied yesterday, but that shouldn't drop our odds terribly. Quote

I know we tied yesterday, but that shouldn't drop our odds terribly. but the tie probably affected it it someway. we are on track for a nice 2 seed if this team keeps it up which i think they will with a friday night game that could clinch the cup no matter what DU does saturday!!

808287 Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 I would love to see UND pound Yale for about 8 goals. So would I. But Yale ain't no Harvard. Wait... Make that 9 goals. Quote
RedFrog Posted March 2, 2009 Posted March 2, 2009 Ok, looking at the 5 teams that we are currently losing the comparison with, I see the following: BU - Can't flip, not going to happen, don't bother trying to figure out how it could. Michigan - Only by catching them in RPI will we flip this one. Not likely. They are .0177 ahead of us. Notre Dame - Only by catching them in RPI will we flip this one. Less likely than Michigan. They are .0287 ahead of us. Vermont - Only by catching them in RPI will we flip this one. Very possible, they are only .0094 ahead of us. Denver - We can flip this by catching them in RPI(they are .0054 ahead of us). We could also catch them by flipping the TUC/COp comparison with a Sioux sweep over Sconnie and a DU loss or tie vs CC(this would also flip the RPI, just solidifying our position versus them). Another thing that I think is important is that if teams currently above us lose comparisons against other teams(not necessarily just us) they are currently winning improves our standing as well. I took a look at Vermont's comparisons. If New Hampshire takes 3+ pts from them this weekend, Vermont will lose the comparisons with St. Lawrence, Minnesota and Minnesota-Duluth. We would leapfrog over them in the PWR based on those outcomes alone. Of course, we need to take care of what we can control first and foremost. Let's not need the help from others, but be graciously willing to accept it. Quote
