Hopefully the committee does the right thing and we end up east, I fully believe Cornell based on their play deserves a number 1 seed or at every least not playing a team at their home rink for the first round. Hopefully the committee sees it this way and we end up playing BU in Worcester

Cornell does not deserve a #1 seed. We trail four teams in the NCAA's selection criteria.

I don't think he was saying we deserved it based on the PWR calculations.

Actually we trail three teams and are tied with the fourth. They win on comparisons - we win on RPI. If it weren't for those stupid "double secret mystery points."
And I'd have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids!

so, how does the committee adjust the "double secret mystery points" so that minnesota isn't a #1 seed? a #1 seed with 14 overall losses, over 25% of their games (they played 41 games).... that just is ugly. I just have a hard time believing that the computer algorithms allow this to happen, and i could accept being a #2 seed if minnesota wasn't a #1.
anxiously awaiting the committee's final report.......

For Minnesota not to be a number 1 seed, neutral ice wins will have to be .025 greater than away ice wins. That will flip the DU comparison for us, but then we will be a number 3 seed, which will screw up the bracketing again since the committee will most likely want us to go to Minny since we are techinally a number 2 seed. It will be interesting what turns out for Cornell. I can see them as either a number 1 or 2 seed and in either Minnesota or Worcester most likely. The only place I do not see Cornell ending up is GR, so do not book your tickets to there.
