I haven't plugged the numbers, but after last night's Big Ten games, Jason Moy now states Air Force cannot get an At Large bid. Only 1 AH team can get in.

i couldnt find a way for airforce to get in which is good for us if its true.

rooting for BU/minn tonight pretty much locks us in no matter how we do.

Teams come and teams go, but Dartmouth faithfully reminds us that winning is the product of something more than personnel and statistics. The Big Green is doing us a favor if we would pay attention.

USCHO's scoreboard has Q over sucks, 2-1, after 2.

ECAC's scoreboard has it 2-1 in favor of sucks.  I think that's right.

Harvard 2-1 early 3rd

Now 3-1 H, Sean Malone hat trick

4-1 eng 2 min to go; bye bye Q

UML 4-1 over Irish after two

Cornell now .0002 ahead of NoDak and .0003 ahead of Notre Dame pending outcome of remaining games

wisc/lowell/harvard winning is good for us.

even PSU/Ndak/BC winning we still get in.

I'm pretty sure we are in with Quinnipiac and OSU losses.  No teams below #17 in current pairwise can get in (other than Robert Morris which would push Air Force out).  In other words, 16 of the current top 17 teams will be in.  I do not think our RPI can fall below OSU's so we should be in.

edit: forgot WCHA autobid since they are not playing tonight.

Penn State just lost, so that can be now factored in.

[Dafatone]

There's still a configuration in which we miss out: https://goo.gl/ZPuRyH

Looks like there are three of them.  Either the AH final and the NCHC consolation can be flipped, but not both of them.

Edit: I think we're in the clear with Penn State's loss.

The you are the committee tool seems to be not working at the moment, but I think we're gonna fall somewhere between 7th and 10th or so.  Might not be able to do any better than 8th or 9th.

USCHO has us at #9 in RPI, about 0.005 above those Nodak characters. We're still 0.003 behind Onion, and the distance we're ahead of ND is just a bit less than we're behind #7 UML. Of course RPI is probably not a linear scale, so this kind of interpolation is not very meaningful.

Bah. Ignore my last post as the USCHO scoreboard was incorrect. PSU/Minnesota are in overtime.
