90siouxfan Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Great work, Jim.For the sake of debate, can the "50% winning ratio rule" make a field of 15 teams a possibility?as in only 15 teams in nation have winning records, I assume auto bids are exempt from this rule.

MafiaMan Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 Pro-Cinderella? So where's your love to Ohio State, Penn State, and Wisconsin? The PSU/WI winner is a given. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJHovey Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Fair enough. I was looking at those stats. What you said makes sense. I'm not either. FWIW, here is CHN's take on each team's probabilities of making the tournament, it appears based upon KRACH. http://www.collegehockeynews.com/ratings/probabilityMatrix.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cratter Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Minnesota will make the tournament. Only question is do you want two Big Ten teams in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Exiled One Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 That could be one interesting scenario if it happens. I never thought of that. Jim did the crunching and it looks like the Huskies have a 21% shot with just a tie. Pulling the goalie would be a bad move, however, as EAGs only happen 10-15% of the time while ENGs happen more often. They'd be better off trying to preserve the tie. Although, if either FSU or UNH win Friday night, the Huskies may just want to be ready to pull Lindgren. If FSU, UNH, & UMN all lose Friday night, a tie might be better than a 50% shot.
