Yeah, the Goofers would be #12.

So it looks like we get either Michigan Tech or BU.

PRINCETON WINS

I read Adam's column from this morning. Does this mean the Goofers are out?

No, Minnesota-Duluth is out. Minnesota should be the lowest at-large now.

You are the committee (which seems to be struggling a bit right now) had UMD in and Minnesota out, in one combination. Might rely on a few things.

Fair enough - at this moment, Minnesota is barely in #12 ahead of UMD. I'm not gonna do the permutations, someone else can.

Adam said:

Minnesota-Duluth's spot is more precarious than it seemed a few days ago thanks to its semifinal loss to Denver. If Duluth loses the NCHC consolation game, and the ECAC and Hockey East champs steal the 13th and 14 slots, then UMD is out because it would drop below Minnesota in the Pairwise.

If UMD manages to stay in, then Minnesota would be out in the above scenario.

So UMD should be out, Minnesota in.

I think we end up playing BU.

St Cloud gets Air Force in Sioux falls, Notre Dame gets Michigan tech in allentown. Our proper matchup is Princeton, but that can't be, so we have the #13, BU. Not sure if that's Bridgeport or Worcester.

Edit.  I take that back.  If Notre Dame wins, Duluth is #12 and the Goofers are out.  If OSU wins, Minny is #12 and Duluth is out.

Well, okay, then.

Going to OT in South Bend

[BigRedHockeyFan]

ND - Ohio St. 2-2, going to OT.

[upprdeck]

so a nd win makes us a 3 and go to CT, an osu win makes us a 4 and go to  MA.. seems like playing BU in CT would be just a small bit better

[BigRedHockeyFan]

Looks like Cornell will play BU no matter what happens.
