Quote from: Nathan Chicowdy 92Can someone please, please provide an updated PWR assessment for the coming weekend?  Can BU face UnivNoHardware in the HE tourney and flip the CoP for us?  Would CoP even matter for that comparison if we advance to Albany?  Is NoHardware the only comparison that is up for grabs and is not 100% RPI-dependent? I need my PWR fix here, people.

I'm not a PWR expert, but here's the best synopsis of what you need to know: A series of Cornell victories will take care of everything else.

Didn't JTW have a possibilities script for the NCAAs in previous years?  Are you slacking John?

Win the next 8 and I like our chances of winning the championship.

Oh, COME ON. Am I going to have to be the one to make the joke?

What do you mean, they're going to celebrate on the ice? There is an appropriate emoticon, but....

Important PWR matchups for this weekend:

UMD vs. CC - best case scenario is probably a CC victory in 3 games.  This would give us the COp against UMD and put some distance between us in rpi.  Might allow CC to catch up in rpi but we should be fine if we win.

CCHA playoffs - not sure who we want here as we are surrounded by CCHA teams in the PWR.  We want Mich to beat Mich St.  We want Miami to continue to win so no bids get stolen.  The other two matchups feature PWR teams around us on both sides.  Probably want Alaska since they are already ahead of us and UNO since they are the furthest behind and we have the COp comparison against both.

HEA playoffs - Also a complicated PWR situation here as there are lots of teams in the 16 - 23 range.  Probably want UMass, Mass-Lowell, and Vermont all to lose as they are the closest to us.  BU beating UNH in the finals would win us the UNH comparison, but that would also give BU a bid so I don't think we want that. I think we want BU to win this week so they stay a TUC. Vermont beating UNH probably wouldn't be bad as it would likely give us the UNH comparison (could cost us VT comparison though).

Overall the PWR situation is still very messy at this point and its hard to know who to root for this weekend.

Amazing how Alaska dropped with the one loss.  I haven't worked it out, but if they lose again to NMU, AK will probably stay below us, even if we don't win out.

Also fascinating is that if Yale loses again, we could actually flip the comparison with them. Go figure.

And Union down to only 1 comparison, If they lose to Q again, they may no longer stay a TUC, and that may take TUC record out of play for us.

I'm starting with Robert Morris to beat Bemidji in the CHA consolation game at 4 PM.  I don't think we can pass them without winning out so it's just out of spite. :-)

Actually, that's right.  If Bemidji loses and we win out, we pass them in RPI and flip the comparison.  If they win tonight, we can't catch them in RPI and will lose the comparison.

In fact, if Bemidji lose tonight, the comparison St. Cloud and UHN will flip, too.  I don't think Bemidji will drop out of an at-large bid, but it could be close.

Edit:  After their tie in the consy, we might still catch them in RPI but it'll be by fractional points.  It may depend on who we play.
