I think that is correct. I'm still not certain why there is discrepancy between USCHO and CHN. I did notice the DU/BC swap in pairwise even though BC's RPI is higher than DU's (according to the app). When I looked this morning on the app BC was 5 and DU was 6. That certainly makes a difference where UMD would be placed prior to the shuffling team exercise. Quote
Fader Posted March 10, 2020 Author Posted March 10, 2020 About the same as everyone else. Used USCHO PWR for ranking. Could see the committee swapping Albany & Worcester. Northeast-Worcester 1) North Dakota (1) 2) UMass (8) 3) Clarkson (9) 4) AIC (16) East - Albany 1) Cornell (3) 2) BC (6) 3) Ohio St (10) 4) Michigan (14) Midwest - Allentown 1) MSU-Mankato (2) 2) Penn State (7) 3) UMass-Lowell (11) 4) Maine (15) West - Loveland 1) Duluth (4) 2) Denver (5) 3) Bemidji St (12) 4) ASU (12) Quote
iluvdebbies Posted March 10, 2020 Posted March 10, 2020 CHN has made the correction on their pairwise rankings. USCHO and CHN now match. Quote

Ultimately with UMass being essentially the same distance from Worcester as BC, I, personally, found it unnecessary for attendance purposes. Quote

Also, Cornell “should” be in Albany with this week’s pairwise. This draw looks pretty solid. I think the guys at USCHO will come up with something similar if not the same. Quote
Popular Post SiouxFanatic Posted March 11, 2020 Popular Post Posted March 11, 2020 So with the recent announcement from the NCAA in regards to COVID-19, I'm guessing brackets should be pretty straight forward considering "moving teams for attendance" is now moot. Only gotta worry about first round intraconference matchups. 5 Quote

Frozen4sioux Posted March 23, 2020 Posted March 23, 2020 In that scenario... Bermidchee would have a heck of a great shot of coming out of it. I'd have put money on the Beavers Quote

Of course, if they matched up against Cornell in the Regional Final, the game might start an infinite loop where the puck never leaves the neutral zone. Quote

Cornell was possibly the most overrated team I can remember in college hockey. Strength of schedule was abysmal. Marriuci Cupcake Classic bad. Honestly I'd give Cornell less than 5% chance coming out of that bracket. Quote

They curb-stomped Ohio State (which is ranked higher than Michigan and beat Michigan 3 out of 4 times this season), Michigan State (who Michigan lost to twice this season), and Clarkson (who Michigan lost and tied to), and made it through nearly 30 games with only 2 losses. Michigan lost 14 games...and were barely above .500 in the Big Ten. Unless of course you think the Big Ten is a true monster of a conference...I just don't see Cornell being overrated, and certainly would be favored against Michigan. Quote

Cornell played a grand total of 3 games all season against teams that made the NCAA tourney, and never on back to back nights. Michigan turned it on in the 2nd half, and were 7-1-2 in their last 10 games. They played 12 games during the season against teams in the NCAA tourney. IMO, Cornell was the definition of a team not battle tested against quality opponents. Any team they faced in the NCAA would have been one of the best, if not the best, team that they'd faced all season. That doesn't bode well for them rattling off multiple wins. I'd take Michigan in that 1st round matchup. Quote

I watched Cornell 4 times or more this season. They are most definitely overrated. They "might" have hosted a home playoff in the B1G.... maybe. They played 6 games against top 20 teams, highest rank Ohio state. Cornell would not have advanced out of that region. Being ranked 1 in the uscho poll is the definition of east coast bias. Its rediculous to believe they are even a 1 or 2 seed. Quote

I'd take Michigan in that 1st round matchup. We'll have to agree to disagree. Cornell only played 3 games against NCAA Tournament teams (at least according to my simulation), but went 3-0 against them, outscoring them 14-5. As you noted, Michigan played 12, and went 4-6-2. Michigan was also 7-1-2 in their last 10...but against Michigan State (x4), Minnesota (x2), Notre Dame (x2), and Wisconsin (x2). Not really a murderer's row. Cornell went 9-0-0 in their last 9, outscoring their opponents 40-12. Cornell this year reminded me of Harvard from 2016-2017. A very strong ECAC team capable of winning it all. Quote
