petey23 Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 1 hour ago, franchise said: Is it still too far out to have any kind of idea how many wins we need to be in decent position? Obviously a lot of factors can play in, but... Obviously winning takes care of everything. 10 regular season games 2-3 playoff games 2 conference tournament games 9 wins would be a lock I think. 8 wins would be fairly safe win 7 of 13(not make St. Paul) and it could get interesting. If you look at teams behind us, most will have problems flipping comparisons against us while we could flip a couple of those in front of us. #12 North Dakota — comparisons won: 48 Legend for comparisons: Wins the comparison Loses the comparison Ties the comparison No comparison Common Opponents PWR Team PWC RPI Sum of Win% Record Head to Head 1t Notre Dame 0-2 .5435* — .6049* 2.250 — 2.500 4-3-1 — 6-3-1 0-0-0 1t Cornell 1-1 .5435* — .5977* 1.750 — 1.500 3-0-1 — 2-1-0 0-0-0 3 St. Cloud State 0-3 .5435* — .5941 3.000 — 4.000 6-6-0 — 8-4-0 0-1-1 4t Clarkson 0-1 .5435* — .5864* 2.750 — 2.750 5-2-1 — 5-2-1 0-0-0 4t Denver 1-3 .5435* — .5797 3.000 — 4.000 5-5-2 — 7-3-2 1-1-0 6 Minnesota State 0-2 .5435* — .5726* 1.750 — 3.000 2-3-3 — 6-2-0 0-0-0 7 Ohio State 0-2 .5435* — .5704 1.250 — 1.500 2-1-1 — 3-1-0 0-0-0 8 Western Michigan 2-2 .5435* — .5479 2.500 — 4.000 4-6-2 — 8-4-0 2-0-0 9t Minnesota 1-3 .5435* — .5461 1.250 — 2.000 1-4-3 — 3-3-0 1-1-0 9t Providence 0-2 .5435* — .5454 1.750 — 2.000 3-0-1 — 3-0-0 0-0-0 11 Minnesota-Duluth 1-3 .5435* — .5451 4.750 — 3.750 8-5-3 — 6-8-1 0-2-0 12 North Dakota 13 Northeastern 1-0 .5435* — .5405 0.000 — 0.000 0-0-0 — 0-0-0 0-0-0 14 Nebraska-Omaha 3-1 .5435* — .5393 3.250 — 3.000 5-6-3 — 6-8-0 1-1-0 15 Michigan 2-0 .5435* — .5389 2.250 — 2.125 4-1-1 — 4-1-2 0-0-0 16 Penn State 1-0 .5435* — .5356 2.250 — 2.250 4-1-1 — 3-1-1 0-0-0 17t Boston College 2-0 .5435* — .5261 1.500 — 0.000 2-2-2 — 0-4-0 0-0-0 17t Harvard 1-1 .5435* — .5250 1.750 — 2.000 3-2-1 — 2-2-0 0-0-0 19 Northern Michigan 2-0 .5435* — .5249 2.000 — 1.000 3-1-2 — 1-3-2 0-0-0 20t Bowling Green 2-0 .5435* — .5245 3.250 — 2.000 5-0-3 — 3-3-2 0-0-0 20t Wisconsin 3-0 .5435* — .5212 1.500 — 1.000 3-1-0 — 2-2-0 1-0-1 22t Bemidji State 2-1 .5435* — .5188 0.750 — 1.750 1-2-1 — 3-0-1 1-0-1 22t Miami 3-0 .5435* — .5185 2.500 — 2.000 5-5-0 — 4-6-0 1-0-1 24 Boston University 1-1 .5435* — .5110 0.750 — 1.000 1-2-1 — 1-1-0 0-0-0 25 Maine 2-0 .5435* — .5105 0.750 — 0.500 1-2-1 — 1-3-0 0-0-0 26 Colorado College 3-1 .5435* — .5093 3.750 — 3.000 6-5-3 — 5-7-2 1-1-0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splitting every remaining series gets us to 5. Maybe I’m optimistic about us sweeping CC, Omaha, or Miami though...

brianvf Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I would take that bracket for UND. Some decent matchups there...could make for some surprises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I'm far more interested in just getting in at this point. Until I saw the last four outcomes I would not have believed Gardner being out would have that large of an impact. And then toss in no Smith and no Jones and no Bast on Saturday. I'm impressed they got the tie. All that said, back to my key point: just getting in. Jim Dahl's "how many wins to finish at X in PWR" was just updated. Seems UND must essentially go "500" in the last eight to say PWR14 or higher. Actually, I'd rather see them go 5-3 and assure no lower than PWR12 at season's end. Why? College hockey is pretty "flat" (even) this year; a couple surprise tourney-winner-autobids won't surprise me this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
