Well, for the playoffs, it felt like a smoking. Especially compared to the Brown, Harvard and BC games that took 5 years off my life.

Haha, fair enough

.

Here's the box by the way: http://www.collegehockeystats.com/0203/boxes/mcormns1.m29

We got a 2-0 lead and then MSU brought it back to a tie. We took the lead back with 6 to go in the second, and opened it up 6 minutes into the third. So the first 46 minutes of that game were definitely not easy going.

Ah, good memories

Yep. Now, the 2002 first-round game vs. Quinnipiac...that was a smoking. :-)

Doug Murray had the best open ice hit I've ever seen in that game.

Yes, the polls have no impact whatsoever on the NCAA seeding process. I know you know that, but posting the poll in this thread just runs the risk of confusing people who don't.

right, fans of the hockey team at a school famous for engineering, math, and science are going to give up statistical analysis of the sport. maby we can give it up for MLB too::rolleyes::

More important than a #1 seed, perhaps, is that we'd all love to see Cornell in the east. Especially considering I'm not more than an hour from either eastern regional

The following all assumes the top 4 contains BC and/or us as the only eastern schools:

In order to do that, we could finish 1st through 4th, 5th to match up with whatever western team finishes 4th and gets sent east, or 9 - x where x is BC's ranking, to match up with them (currently 8th).

Anything less than that pretty much becomes a crap shoot.

Does that mean all of us can stay at your house? :-P

If by 'house' you mean 'apartment', and by 'stay' you mean 'sleep on the floor', then sure ;-). Although the DirecTV SportsPack might make up for it :-D

This may help with these speculations, if anyone feels like making up results for the rest of the season:

Anyone that bothers to read this far down this thread and isn't so confused they give up on it will know that the polls don't have an effect on tournament seeding. I promise. :-)

JasonN95 · February 04, 2005, 10:30:47 PM

Quick! Look before it changes! As of 10:30 EST, 2/4/05, Cornell is tied for 2nd in the pairwise. Can we cancel the rest of the season for all teams and just go with this? :-P

ben03 · February 04, 2005, 10:34:52 PM

who are the host schools for the regionals this year?

(same post as in the postgame thread)

The current Michigan PWR comparison (edit: RPI AFTER the Maine win over UNH):

Cornell vs Michigan 
      .5861 1 RPI 0 .5724  
8-4-2 .6429 1 TUC 0 .6111 10-6-2 
1-1-1 .5000 0 COp 1 .7000 3-1-1 
     0-0-0  0 H2H 0  0-0-0 
            2 TOT 1

The COp comparison is over. The TUC comparson is still up in the air. Michigan can still easily win this comparison.

The only way the BC and DU comparisons will stay in Cornell's advantage is if (a) we don't lose, and (b) they do. We're going to take big hits to our RPI when we play Princeton/Yale/Union/Rensssleer

Still, it's nice to see right now!
