Looking Ahead

[wakester2468]

While there are three weekends left in the regular season, it seems inevitable that Quinn and Cornell are positioned for a quarterfinal match up.
It is possible that CU could leap frog Harvard in the final standings but not likely. There is a large gap between 5th and 6th place. The big question
is will CU get the first round bye and thus host QU.  Looking at Pairwise Standings, that series could have major NCAA ramifications too. This could get very interesting. If nothing else, it's nice to be in the discussion this late in the year.

why is catching not likely? if we win this weekend and they lose to union we are ahead of them this week.

its possible to get to first place this weekend if we do our job at home

Qpac is probably going to finish 5th, but I'd argue Cornell is more likely than not to finish SOMEWHERE other than 4th.

Would be nice to have one of these NHL simulations that gives probability for each playoff seeding.

First time I've looked at sportsclubstats. Rather cool. Perhaps I am expecting that the top teams will continue to win at the pace we will.
The best part is we play both St Lawrence and Union again so  much will depend of that. Unfortunately, Harvard has the tie breaker with us based
on head to head. In actuality, it may be more likely to catch either the Saints or the Dutchmen. I do still think Quin is locked into 5th unless we falter in which case all bets are off. To me, half of the fun is trying to figure things out and checking out bracketology from week to week.

I think its fun just looking at how close this finish might be.

I think Harvard wins
union splits
STL wins this weekend
and we hope Cornell sweeps

STL 27
Union 27
Harvard 26
Cornell 26

Quin 23

then a gap.

Yale 17
clarkson 16

but if that STL ties Prince and Union ties Dart
its a 4 way tie..

that would a lot of fun those last 2 weekends. Im sure its not that hard to find a way for a 5 way tie at the end.  we really need to find a way to win these last 4 home games and last night was a good start

This may be my favorite part of the end of the season other than the games themselves.

THANK YOU!

The PWR is way out of whack with USCHO and CHN.  What am I missing?

Very nice.  Certainly doesn't feel like we're 86% to get a bye and 70% to make the NCAAs...

And if we win out, we'd be a 2-seed, at worst!

Right now, this is all looking like a replay of 1996, with Quinnipiac in the role of Colgate, Union in the role of Vermont, and Harvard and Clarkson reversed.

Hopefully, it all ends up rhyming, even though I'd be perfectly happy to avoid a series with Quinnipiac.

It should go live on Monday.  Sunday games confuse it, and I don't have time to look into modifying the hack I introduced in 2000 when Bob Gaudet's hissy fit resulted in some Saturday games being moved to Sunday.  (IIRC, that doesn't handle situations where a team plays both Saturday and Sunday in a given weekend.)

Obviously getting a bye is our biggest concern, but finishing 3rd instead of 4th and thereby dodging Q would also be big.
