The season might not be over…
That's wins by all higher seeds except for a win by Michigan in the B1G. Denver must beat Minnesota-Duluth in the NCHC consolation.

Currently 13% of scenarios:
Cornell is the only team outside of top 15 still with an at-large NCAA bid possibility. [t.co]

It looks like the scenarios that get us there are basically: Michigan wins the Big Ten, UMD loses both the semi and consolation, Michigan Tech wins its tournament or loses its semi, and neither Dartmouth or St. Lawrence win the ECAC. Obviously I haven't run them all, but if anyone has some examples of where the above doesn't work for us or where something else does get us in, let us all know.

I think I'd rather just look at the SI swimsuit issue.

It's funny but I have no issue with Q. Yeah, they're basically a diploma mill for kids who didn't get into Colgate, and yeah Pecknold is an ass, but I doubt we lose many prospects to them the way we likely do to HYP, and they do the job out of conference which lifts all boats, as opposed to the Crimson's perpetual lock on the Beanpot consolation game. And they have decent uniforms. I much prefer Q to, say, Union.

mich tech or minn st winning we can get in.
i found that if minn loses to MSU, Minn duluth can win game one. but only if prov wins HE
but if Minn Duluth loses twice we have many ways to get in.
couldnt find a way for Duluth to win game 2 and we get in.
not sure if Minn Duluth tie does something as it never sticks to tell if it took but i think its bad for us
even found several ways to get us to 14 and we dont need Quin to win for that
really root for minn and minn duluth to lose game and many ways open up

On the USCHO ECAC thread there is a claim that there is a scenario where Dartmouth wins it all and we still get in (giving the ECAC five slots). Can anybody confirm this?

Yes, here. We end up tied with Dartmouth at 14.
It only works if they beat Harvard in finals, not if it's SLU.
And it still looks like Minn-Duluth needs 2 losses. Also Mich Tech either needs to win it all, or lose in semis. If they lose in finals, their RPI is too high for us.
So Harvard needs to win semis, Minn-Duluth needs 2 loses, and Mich Tech lose in semis or win it all. Maybe there are more options?

and just flipping the BC-Providence result to have BC winning in the "Dartmouth scenario" above causes Northeastern to jump over us and knock us out.

Since I don't have the time to run some 3,000,000 combinations, can anyone give me a cheat sheet for tonight? I know that Michigan winning the B1G is crucial, but do either of tonight's games affect us much? I actually get to watch them in HD, so I'd like to know my rooting interests.

Simplist is Michigan wins B1G, Mich Tech wins WCHA, & Minn-Duluth gets 2 losses. Many others have been outlined in prior posts. I don't think the B1G play-in games mean much, other than trying to make it easier for Mich and harder for Minny, who is probably Mich's biggest threat. But Wisc over Penn St would probably be easier for Mich.

the B10 schedule confuses me.. they have 3-6 playin day, then an off day then play back to back semi/final. this way you reward the 3-6 game winner an off day to recover before playing the teams with the Bye. wouldnt it make more sense to play the first night then come back and play the 2nd night so the bye teams get some reward of a somewhat tired winner, and then since you dont want teams playing 3 days in a row have an off night and then a final with teams rested?

I'm not sure what you mean.
The 3-6 games were yesterday--Thursday. The semis are today--Friday. The finals are tomorrow--Saturday. There is no off day.

I trust that people have run the numbers but how does MTU, who is just ahead of is in PWR, beating Ferris help us?.
Also there are some mistakes on starting times but I don't want to correct them myself.

My guess is it's the only way to ensure MTU doesn't steal an at large by remaining ahead of us. If they lose but stay ahead of us then the WCHA gets the auto and we lose a slot to MTU. Give the auto to MTU and the problem goes away.ugarte

Given our five games against them, Q's success is so good for our RPI that I can kinda hold my nose and do it.
North Dakota is a special case. I somehow live in South Dakota, so that's also a factor.

Northeastern did win. Stupid BC can't even win when they're supposed to.

Ironically we moved up to 15. There are two autos below us: AHA and WCHA, so we need to get to 14. I can't find a way to get us over Northeastern.

Strange season for Northeastern--the polar opposite of Cornell's. Started the year 2-12-3, since then 19-1-2 going into the Hockey East championship game tonight. Working on a 12-game winning streak now.Trotsky

Sounds like good coaching to me. Improvement over the season is one of the main things I look for in a coach.

TBRW uses record in first half of ECAC season v second half as one factor in Predictions, so I have the data. Sometime I will compile it and see if there are any trends by school or coach.Swampy

I predict RPI will show a negative season progression under the Fridge and in many seasons since his booting.
That is what makes the current Cornell season a bitter pill. I don't remember this type of crash in seasons since Coach took over in '95-'96.

Relax. He's just being a little more subtle so it's easier to not react. (And I don't think we're condemning you, just reacting to how strident you've been at times.)redice

Usually, perception is reality, Keith... In most cases, if I post something on this forum, I'm either ignored or my thoughts are condemned.....
You call me strident..... I admit that I don't "mince words". But, is that any reason to be in attack mode when I post (or am not being ignored)?...I think not..

Lucky or not, Cornell deserves better. After crushing losses in the NCAAs every year, it seems our new thing is to miss the NCAAs by one game: just as in 2014, Cornell is the highest-ranked team to miss.
Hope Yale and Q and Harvard lose 15-0 in the first round.

Michigan wins the Big Ten, which clinches an NCAA bid for Yale. Had Minnesota and UMD won, Yale would have been eliminated. UMD currently trsils 2-1, make that 3-1 St. Cloud just scored as I was typing this.

It's easy to slip into attack mode on the internet, especially if you don't have a face to put with the handle you're responding to. That doesn't make it right and I try to avoid it myself (some are better at it than others). It does help to think about your perception though to control your reality because things aren't always what they first seem. that said, i can see how you feel like you've been attacked and if I've ever been responsible for that I'm sorry.redice

That's "big" of you, Keith. But, no, I cannot think of any specific examples where you have been guilty of that. Thanks for being so gracious.
Now to the loooong offseason... UGH!!
