Would a Number 1 in polls really have no impact on selection committee

[dadeo]

Yes - against Minnesota, Michigan, and BC, we are very very close in both TUC and COp. (teams under consideration and common opponents).  less the .1 in most cases.
So, when these three teams play their tournaments, one or more are bound to lose, creating a worse TUC percentage.  And since we are still #4 (I believe) in RPI, we are still doing well.
Just root for those 3  teams to lose in the semis or finals of their respective tournaments (where there is a higher chance of them playing TUCs and COps).

Hey - come on - the average hockey fan may not get PWR and KRACH and all that, but we are CORNELL hockey fans.
