Another team to root for

If Holy Cross wins AHA, and Colgate beat Hahvard (but not us), Brown can become a TUC again. We get two more TUC wins and can actually flip the comparison with Minnesota.

OK, OK can anybody put together a list of rooting priorities? Please just do it for today, and then update each day. If you do it too far ahead, some of us old farts get lost.

For you old-timers

ROOT FOR CORNELL

ROOT FOR CORNELL [/q]Thanks, but I said priorities. (That's plural for you young farts)

Sorry, I'm an engineer. Grammar has never been one of our priorities (plural).

wcha: root against minnesota. root against denver too. denver winning with a minny consolation victory = no #1 seed also. so, root for cc and wisconsin

hea: root for maine, boston college

cha: root for mich state

Sorry, the post above was mine, but it wasn't signed in under me, here was the text:

No, no, no... root against BC - we can pass them. Root for BU or UNH to take the HEA title because they can flip the comparison with Minn and knock Minn down a peg.

Other than that I pretty much agree. Rooting for HC was an interesting note too.

how does brown fall out of tuc? last i checked they still are, at least with the nmu result in?

Not sure, I've done a lot of scenarios where Brown isn't a TUC at the end. Possibly a combination of Colgate and Holy Cross losses. Brown is so borderline, it wouldn't surprise me if it came down to North Dakota or Denver since UMD's played them four times (having an impact on opp-opp %).

Mainly Colgate loses, since they played them 4 times. HC loses wouldn't help.

More specifically, Colgate's win %age is what plays into Brown's RPI ranking. Colgate is over .500, so even Colgate going 1-1 this weekend would lower Colate's win %age, and therefore Brown's RPI. Enough so in fact, that Brown would drop out of TUC status even with Colgate going 1-1.

So from the 'Colgate effect', Colgate would need to take the ECAC title to keep Brown a TUC. But apparenty HC winning AHA could help out Brown enough to keep them a TUC even with Colgate going 1-1 (though I'd put money on not if Gate goes 0-2).
