Dustin Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 With no true pairwise, I'm glad UND is having a season that isn't close to the bubble line of the NCAA field. Hard to argue against winning the regular season of the toughest conference. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godsmack Posted February 24, 2021 Share Posted February 24, 2021 So what if Duluth loses one or both games to St. Cloud? Would that put them in the position of having to win the frozen Faceoff to get in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope they can make the most of it and hang number 9! Would Jamernik get that extra year also being he came in at Christmas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps but I’ve watched almost as many CC games as I have UND games and you can really tell the difference in talent between the top half teams in the conference and CC.

jk Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 With the emphasis on limiting flights this year, they may not care as much about things like intraconference matchups. The conference playoffs may move some teams around, but I think Fargo may look like this: 1. UND 2. MN, Mankato, Duluth or SC 3. Duluth or SC 4.

jk Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 I get that, but if Wisconsin wins the Big 10, they may jump MN and give the committee the chance to put MN there. If Mankato fails to win the WCHA playoffs, they could slide to a two seed as well. If they both stay one seeds, then I think they put the higher finisher of Duluth or SC in that spot.

Langster019 Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Latest CHN article has UND, MN, SCSU, and Bowling Green in Fargo. Gonna have to play tough teams, and I'm glad we stay away from Duluth if that holds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I realize they want to limit flight travel but you can’t have 6-7 of the top 10 teams in the 8 West spots and only 3-4 of the top 10 teams in the 8 East spots.

They are off balanced, but the NCAA has asked the Selection Committee to reduce flights. So normally the #1 seed gets the #16 seed. This year, I think they settle for "band level" seeding (#1-#4 play #13-#16) in order to minimize travel. Yeah I think we're getting four Western teams in the Fargo regional.
