[Greg Berge]

Bowling Green shocking Ferris 2-0 early.

[Section A]

does the BG/FSU game have any effects on us?

[Chris 02]

RPI-Union knotted at zero after one period.

I think every game in Division I affects us in some way, shape, or form.  It's just some affect us in that first decimal place of the RPI, others maybe in the 4th or 5th.

[ZooeyDog]

Indirectly. If Ferris keeps winning, they'll probably finish in at least the top 8, and they could line up as being the #2 seed in whatever region we wind up in (as opposed to a Hockey East team like BC...). The permutations are many, but in general, I'd consider it a good thing if as many Hockey East teams get supplanted as possible. Of course, Ferris State's having an unbelievable year, so maybe I should be careful what I wish for.

As they are the current #8 in PWR, it probably would be insurance for us to have Ferris State lose.  Anything that keeps the current #5+ teams knocked down in RPI can help Cornell hold onto a #1 regional seed.

Here's the current TUC bubble of RPI:

.5156 Minn-Duluth
.5151 Miami
.5077 UAF
.5076 Lowell
---------------------------
.4998 UAH
.4982 Wisconsin
.4958 UNO
.4938 Brown
.4906 Northeastern

Without looking at the individual schedules, my guess is that it would help us for the HE and WCHA teams to wind up under .500 (depriving their conference peers of valuable wins), though there may have been a couple upsets in there.

Except for the fact that we're rooting against Providence, which means rooting *for* Denver, so I would like to see Wisconsin get back as a TUC to give Denver a boost . Since we're not really directly competeing with any WCHA teams, it shouldn't hurt us directly.

[Greg Berge]

Clarkson 1 Vermont 0 in the 2nd.

RPI ties it up with Union 1-1, late in the second.
