Definitely rooting for a Cornell win tomorrow, but getting 3 ECAC teams into the NCAA's should we lose is not decent consolation. I guess there's a silver lining in either outcome tomorrow. Still, LET'S GO RED!

Exactly. Just win.

This is why I love our fans! :-)

I didn't spend very much time on it at all, but the following might save someone a minute or two. All the higher seeds winning would result in Cornell winding up 7th.

And if they go straight 1-8, 2-7, etc. that means we go to Fort Wayne to play in Miami's bracket.  Because as close as I can figure, Miami is locked in at #2, and if we win, we're 7, no matter what else happens.

So unless they dick around with the brackets to boost attendance, get ready to head west again.

So far it looks like a win puts us at 7 and a loss puts us at 10 or 11.  Haven't run all the cases (not working graveyard shift like I was last year at this time) but I'm getting comfortable that with a win we'll be a #2 seed and with a loss we'll be a #3.

It also looks like Yale is in.  They show up between 8 and 11 in everything I've run.

The results of the WCHA games seem to have no effect at all on the seedings of ECAC teams.

Not a bad unless.

The following puts us 12th and as the last at large. That's as low as I've been able to get us to drop. So it looks like we're in for sure.

If you switch the winner of either HEA or WCHA it doesn't change the result.

Miami winning, RIT winning, or Michigan winning bumps us up to 10 or 11.

# Hockey East Championship game: Maine defeats Boston College.
# ECAC Championship game: Union defeats Cornell.
# ECAC Consolation game: Brown defeats St. Lawrence.
# Atlantic Hockey Championship game: Sacred Heart defeats RIT.
# CCHA Championship game: Northern Michigan defeats Michigan.
# CCHA Consolation game: Ferris State defeats Miami.
# WCHA Championship game: North Dakota defeats St. Cloud State.
# WCHA Consolation game: Denver defeats Wisconsin.

If we win I can't get us anywhere but 7th.

It looks like the top 6 are fixed:

1  Denver
2  Miami
3,4,5,6 - NoDak, St. Cloud, BC, and Wisconsin in some order.

Now if we win, we win the RPI comparison with Bemidji and Yale, and the TUC comparison with NMU, UVM, and UNH, so we finish 7th.

If we lose, UVM, NMU, and UNH all win the TUC comparison, Bemidji and Yale win on RPI, and we drop to 10th or 11th.  10th if Miami beats Ferris, 11th if Ferris beats Miami, depending on how Ferris does.

That's it.  Those are the options.

Edit:  Other than the one case where we drop to 12th :-)

It least we don't have to watch the scoreboard, just win.

If we win, then it looks like we are #7.  The #1-2 seeds are between Denver and Miami which will come down to their TUC and is very close.  If Miami does better than Denver today it will get the overall #1 seed  (i.e., Denver loss with Miami win or tie or Denver tie and Miami win).  If Miami takes the #1 seed, then Denver as the number #2 seed would likely be in Albany with us as the #7.  If Denver gets the overall #1, then it looks like we are headed west unless they dick around with the brackets to boost attendance.

I like how my comment is getting repeated.

....and when was the last time they dicked around the brackets to boost attendance...?
