2013 ECAC Playoff Permutations

[nyc94]

We're now tied for 22 in PWR. With a strong showing by getting to AC, I think there is still a chance of an At-Large bid, maybe?

I just did a quick sampling of the teams ahead of us and in most cases we lose comparisons by 1 point, losing RPI and Common Opponent and winning TUC.  Keep winning and our RPI goes up and we could flip a few comparisons.  I still think we need some help from the teams between us and the bubble.

And probably no major upsets in the other league playoffs, ours excepted of course.::banana::

It was also interesting to see how many other moves were made in PWR last night. Jason Moy had RPI missing the tournament on his analysis. After last night they would be in.

And all three teams at the top lost last night.

And it certainly helps if Colgate, Ferris State, and CC stay TUC.

Jayson Moy did a quick blog entry after last night's results.  RPI is in at #13. http://www.uscho.com/bracketology/2013/03/02/after-the-results-of-march-2/

In his mid-week blog RPI was out because they were #16 and he was giving the Hockey East autobid to Providence.  At the time Providence was #25 in Pairwise and in a four-way tie for first in Hockey East.  Providence lost to BC last night.

The autobid assumption for Providence was weak but emphasizes how much unknown there is for those teams on the bubble. Providence losing last night dropped them to 31.

Niagara is currently twelfth in the pairwise.  If they lose their tournament but do otherwise well until the final it might be that two Atlantic Hockey teams would be in. Just think how much fun this will be next year with the Big Ten league in the mix.

The tiebreakers vs top 4 will depend (obviously) on who is top 4.  The ECAC site has concise table showing H2H.

In the table below, read across for record of row vs col.  An * is a meeting tonight.

          35 Qpc   25 RPI   23 Yal   22 Uni   22 SLU   22 Drt
19 Cor     0-2      1-1      0-1*     2-0      1-1      1-0-1
19 Clk     0-2      0-2      1-1      1-0*     1-0-1    1-1
18 Prn     0-2      1-0-1    0-2      0-1-1    0-1-1    1-0-1
18 Brn     0-0-2    0-1-1    1-1      0-1-1    0-1-1    0-2



Tonight's rooting interests:

Cor at Yal: Cornell.  Duh, but in addition to our result, giving Yale even a point hurts us vs Clk and Brn.
Col at Brn: Colgate.
SLU at RPI: RPI helps us vs Clk and hurts vs Prn.  SLU helps vs Prn and hurts vs Clk.  vs Brn it's a wash.
Clk at Uni: Union.  In addition to the primary result against Clk, Union helps us with all comparisons.
Qpc at Drt: Dartmouth.  Dartmouth helps us vs Clk and Brn.
Prn at Hvd: Harvard.

Brown beat Colgate.
