NCHC Final Standings Game 2024


Recommended Posts

The Game:
Pick the final regular season standings in order.
Ties in regular season standing points are "broken" by playoff seeding order. 

Hint:
I'd pick UND as one and Miami as eight. ;) 

Prize?
Boosted self-esteem and nothing more.

How much boosted self esteem do you get if you copy another’s list?

I'm going way off the board ...

UND
DU
CC
SCSU
WMU
UNO 
UMD
Miami 

I'm calling a DU/CC split and UMD to show a pulse and more at home.
WMU will walk Miami because their PWR dies otherwise.

You’ve helped in the past so this is a big ask……. Were you thinking points or NCHC post playoff standings? Asking for a friend. :wink:

Standings a week from today. 

Thanks. Befriended the fool, hehe. Was way out there thinking the 4 (maybe 5) NCHC teams making it to the dance party. Just called my hairapist.

Same.  The 4 teams in the middle of the standings will have huge quarterfinal matchups.  Will be very fun to watch.  The losers go home, I think.

Quite a bit of thought went into that, as is Sic's habit.   I looked at unis and cheerleaders.

1. UND (split with Omaha)

2. DU (split with CC)

3. SCSU (split with Duluth)

4. CC (split with DU)

5. Western (sweeps Miami)

6. Omaha (split with UND)

7. Duluth (split with SCSU)

8. Miami (swept by WMU)

If my predictions hold, I have WMU leapfrogging Omaha to win the tie breaker. If Western sweeps Miami and Omaha splits with UND, both teams would be tied in points at 37 but if I’m right, Western wins the head to head tie breaker over Omaha given they had 2 regulation wins over Omaha to Omaha’s 2 OT wins over Western.

I don’t feel that DU will have a cakewalk with CC like they did back in November. CC has grown by leaps and bounds since that series and have a level of moxie, swagger, and confidence that I haven’t seen in them in over a decade. That said, I just don’t see DU getting swept by the Tigers. DU will lock up second place by virtue of earning 3 points to maintain their lead over St. Cloud who I think will split at Duluth and therefore, lock up 3rd place. Finally, CC will lock up 4th place by earning 3 points against DU. Even if CC gets swept, so long as Omaha doesn’t get at least 4 points (Omaha has the tie breaker with CC), the Tigers will finish with the final home playoff spot. Omaha has a lot more work ahead of them to catch the Tigers (get at least a regulation win and an OT loss to earn the 4 points needed to catch the Tigers). 
 

Did I miss anything or mis-state any of my comments?

CC has as much trouble with DU as UND does with CC.
