NCHC and Big 10 will both be very unhappy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crb1 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 I still don't understand how Mankato has a higher Pairwise rating than us. I understand Pairwise is meaningless this year but I still don't get it. Also how AIC can be listed 3rd is beyond me. Now with this loss to Northern Michigan, you would think Mankato's pairwise would take a bit of a hit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yzerman19 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 As the the only team to win their conference regular season and playoff titles, in the toughest league in college hockey, I think UND is the #1 overrall. Quinnipiac can claim both titles too, but in a less tough ECAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoneySIOUX Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 That's gotta drop Mankato off the one line, right? Moving Wisconsin up. That also likely changes who's coming to Fargo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jk Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 UND, Mankato, Duluth, Bemidji. Your bus ride Fargo regional. They can easily argue Mankato has slid behind teams like WI, SC, and UMass to justify their 2-seed placement. The only potential issue is that two Bemidji wins could make it tough to call them a 4.

If Bemidji wins the WCHA they could move to the 3 line and come to Fargo to play Wisconsin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now with this loss to Northern Michigan, you would think Mankato's pairwise would take a bit of a hit. I think it's due to some leagues having a nonconference series or two. Gives a nice bump when beating a team that then goes and beats teams in another conference. I like Fenton, but I think the east - west thing made to much of seeing same team. And the NCHC should've allowed 1 nonconference eries if teams able to schedule. Just to shore up some pwr and rpi. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right...a little non-conf and a slightly more even interconference schedule would have likely gone a long way to avoid playing teams 6 times and provide a small comparison to other conferences. On the flip side, CC probably would have gotten the Covid 5 more times and only got 4 games in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petey23 Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 I will finalize my field predictions tomorrow but right now I think Bemidji stays home and the WCHA Tournament Champion gets the 2nd spot and their is no third team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
