New Bracketology: We Get Hosed

ROFLMAO

As the Pairwise currently stand (10:11 EST), 4 ECAC teams would be in assuming no upsets in conference tourneys.  Is this possible?  Oh...Vermont just scored.  That'll change things.

With the 3-2-1 bonus, Cornell leaps into the top four, but without they are fifth.  Things are going to be incredibly tight to the finish it looks like.

Sorry, but getting two dates with the campus bombshell, without getting to that magical and all important third date  just don't cut it.  She ain't gonna sleep with you on the first date and probably not on the second either.

Keep the babe you got and make plans with the bombshell after you get one last good one from your current girlfriend.

A bird in the hand...

The only thing sillier than looking at PWR from week-to-week (yes, I do it religiously myself!) is looking at PWR partway through the results of the evening.  Cornell won't be in the top 4 by the time the night is through...

UAA and Brown hanging on to TUC status by fingernails as of close-of-business Saturday.

They actually never were in the top 4. As we discovered in another thread, Ari mistakenly used bonus figures 100 times larger than he should have.

I definitely don't understand PWR that well, but one has to think that if Cornell wins Albany then they will be in the top four.  My logic is that one of Minnesota, CC, and Denver is going to lose two games.  I could be wrong but that seems to make sense.

I don't really understand it that well either. I've just been reading what some people here who do understand it well have been writing. What I have read is that should we win out in Albany, we --could-- wind up in the top 4, but it is by no means a definite thing. We would still need a lot of other games to fall our way.

There was a post by Ken 70, in another thread, either late yesterday or today that explained it pretty well, in a lot of detail.

Actually, only if UAA/Wisco beats Denver in the semis.  If Denver beats #4, they can all finish with one loss.

I guess that is the most likely scenario although I'm sure Wisconsin could give Denver a run even though they haven't played well the last month or so.

Unfortunately, all three of our cupcake meals wiped out of the AH tournament, so no free TUC wins there. :-(
