Trotsky's Fantasy Post-Season

[Trotsky]

OK, trying again.

Start with pure integrity plus North Dakota --> Albany

Loveland

2 Mankato, WCHA
7 Denver, NCHC
10 Bemidji, WCHA
15 Harvard, ECAC

Albany

1 North Dakota, NCHC
8 Clarkson, ECAC
9 Lowell HE
16 AIC, AHA

Worcester

4 Cornell, ECAC
5 Minnesota-Duluth, NCHC
12 Massachusetts, HE
13 Arizona State, Indy

Allentown

3 BC, HE
6 Pedo State, B1G
11 Ohio State, B1G
14 Michigan, B1G

Ohio State must move.  Bemidji makes sense in Loveland.  Lowell gets the propinquity preference over Massachusetts.  Therefore,

Loveland

2 Mankato, WCHA
7 Denver, NCHC
10 Bemidji, WCHA
15 Harvard, ECAC

Albany

1 North Dakota, NCHC
8 Clarkson, ECAC
9 Lowell HE
16 AIC, AHA

Worcester

4 Cornell, ECAC
5 Minnesota-Duluth, NCHC
11 Ohio State, B1G
13 Arizona State, Indy

Allentown

3 BC, HE
6 Pedo State, B1G
12 Massachusetts, HE
14 Michigan, B1G

The wages of Cornell's loss to Harvard and drop to #4 is repeat national champion UMD.

There is no egging way that any NCAA committee puts BC a millimeter further from home.  Ergo BC in Wuhsta.

Putting us in Allentown when there's no tourney?  You would, you SOB.

+1 was thinking the same thing.

The 2020 NCAA Selection:

Albany

1 North Dakota, NCHC
8 Clarkson, ECAC
9 Lowell HE
16 AIC, AHA

Loveland

2 Mankato, WCHA
7 Denver, NCHC
10 Bemidji, WCHA
15 Harvard, ECAC

Worcester

3 BC, HE
5 Minnesota-Duluth, NCHC
11 Ohio State, B1G
14 Michigan, B1G

Allentown

4 Cornell, ECAC
6 Pedo State, B1G
12 Massachusetts, HE
13 Arizona State, Indy

[Trotsky]

So, it looks like you were right, Marty.  They put BC in Worcester for attendance and also moved their 1R partner Michigan there.  Cornell and the host will get people to Allentown.  Clarkson should have a good crowd in Albany and the Sioux travel well.  And Loveland will have no trouble at all.

See you all Friday for the first games.

[Trotsky]

The regionals will begin this weekend though I'm not quite sure what the schedule is (it has been removed in several places for reasons not relevant to OTL).  As soon as I have them I will post the schedule of results.

Friday: 4 1R from early regionals
Saturday: 4 1R from late regionals and 2 QF from early regionals
Sunday:  2 QF from late regionals

[Trotsky]

I think this is right:

Loveland is 3/27-28 (early)
Worcester is 3/27-28 (early)
Allentown is 3/28-29 (late)
Albany is 3/28-29 (late)

[Trotsky]

If that is correct then this is the schedule:

Friday

Worcester 1-4: 3 BC vs 14 Michigan
Loveland 1-4: 2 Mankato vs 15 Harvard
Worcester 2-3: 5 Minnesota-Duluth vs 11 Ohio State
Loveland 2-3: 7 Denver vs 10 Bemidji


Saturday

Albany 1-4: 1 North Dakota vs 16 AIC
Allentown 1-4: 4 Cornell vs 13 Arizona State
Worcester QF
Albany 2-3: 8 Clarkson vs 9 Lowell
Allentown 2-3: 6 Pedo State vs 12 Massachusetts
Loveland QF


Sunday

Albany QF
Allentown QF

I think this is right:

Loveland is 3/27-28 (early)
Worcester is 3/27-28 (early)
Allentown is 3/28-29 (late)
Albany is 3/28-29 (late)

My notes had it the same as you do here.

It's the cards, baby.  I don't write this, I just read it.
