I wonder if Penn. could find themselves in a bad spot still? That would change everything regarding regional placement. I should try the calculator and see. They could. As of right now Penn State has a 61% chance at an at large bid Quote

Fader Posted February 17, 2020 Author Posted February 17, 2020 Ciskie's bracket definitely riled up the Dawg fans about having to face Bemidji. Quote

Cornell placed NE as ECAC host. Tried to maintain bracket integrity. Swapped UMass and Clarkson to avoid 1st round conflict. Northeast - Albany 1) Cornell 2) BC 3) ASU 4) Maine East-Worcester 1) North Dakota 2) UMass 3) Bemidji 4) AIC Midwest - Allentown 1) Mankato 2) Clarkson 3) Penn State 4) Minnesota West - Loveland 1) Duluth 2) Denver 3) Northeastern 4) Ohio State I could see the committee swapping Minn with Maine or AIC.... The west UMD VS MINNESOTA BSU VS DENVER Quote

I'd venture to guess that unless UND drops 3 of the next 6 games or something ridiculous like that, they have the #1 seed wrapped up. At the same time, MSU would need to sweep the next 2 series and sweep all the way through the conference tournament. Honestly, the thing that caught me off guard and I'm sure surprises most people is MSU's strength of schedule. It's #8 in the country. People can't really bitch and moan about MSU just piling up wins against horrible competition this year.....of course, they will, but they shouldn't. Of course, unless we move out of the first round, the perception isn't going to change. 1 Quote

Very true.....I know hastings has been trying to do this so he can prop up that sos. It's not his fault that mn and but pissed down their legs the last couple years. Edit: and UND last year, I guess.

Yeah...that was a pretty big egg. We seem to have one of those every year in big game. Hopefully, we got it out of our system and dont do it during the tourney this year. Quote

Hopefully, we got it out of our system and dont do it during the tourney this year. Sweeping Arizona State is more valuable than it may have seemed at the time. But playing only 5 games vs non-WCHA opponents doesn't leave any room for error. Certainly helps that the league is better this year. Quote

Clark17 Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 Somewhat straightforward after the weekend. What I think it should be: West 3 Corn 14 WMU 6 DU 11 BS M-West 2 MSU-M 15 Minn 7 Penn 10 Clark East 1 UND 16 AIC 8 Mass 9 OSU N-East 4 BC 13 ASU 5 UMD 12 NE What I think reality would be: swap 1/16 to West with 3/14 to East Anxious to see what the writers will come up with this week? They (Moy n Connelly) both swapped 2 seeds last week which I thought the committee tries to avoid if a 3 seed swap is available. Few games this week too, AIC/SHU n BC/? Quote

I think the committee would want Cornell in Albany for attendance, maybe they would send 2/15 out west and have 1/16 play in the mid-west? They would still run into the number one overall in the same regional as a host school. Quote
