Based on results so far Cornell is 100% guaranteed to be #4 or higher in PWR

[RichH]

If Clarkson loses, North Dakota is out. A Notre Dame win gives us a decent chance to finish #3 overall.

This scenario probably has us playing Northern Michigan. https://goo.gl/FaPq9s

If Sucks beats Clarkson, I believe North Dakota is out.

Of course, here comes Clarkson.

If Clarkson loses, North Dakota is out.

NoDak has a consolation game tomorrow--not sure if you were factoring that into your calculations.

It looks like NoDak is too far from the next spot to move up, even if they win. They could move down if they lose, though.

Clarkson wins.

So, North Dakota gets in if they win their consolation game AND Clarkson wins AND the winner of Northeastern and Providence beats BU.

But I assume the selection committee would send one of the western teams (ND/Ohio State) west to play them?

Isn't Denver about to push us to #5 in the computer rankings?

If the 1s are scsu, notre dame, osu, cornell and the 4s are Minnesota, North Dakota, WCHA, AHA, I think Cornell would go west. Top two would get the autobids and osu can't play Minnesota.

They're too far behind us, believe it or not.

Good news unless it leads to Sioux Falls.

Yup. Root for Princeton, Minnesota-Duluth, and/or (not)BU.

What does OSU not playing Minnesota have to do with Cornell going west? OSU not playing Minnesota means OSU would play NoDak and therefore go west instead of us, who play Minnesota, right?

Doesn't a BU win take away another at-large slot, meaning NoDak gets bounced?
