[quote Trotsky]With the update at 10:57 EDT, Cornell is now 5th in RPI:

1 Minny
2 Wisco
3 Miami
4 CC
5 Cornell

Honestly, I never would have thought Cornell could climb to the best RPI among all Eastern teams.  That's astonishing.[/quote]
With either .0033/.0022/.0011 or .003/.002/.001, we're #4 but lose the CC comparison, in addition to Minny and Miami

[Trotsky]

Yep, the short version of the individual comparisons is:

Losses:

Wisco: Cornell
Minny: Wisco
Miami: Wisco, Minny
Cornell: Minny, Miami, CC

Miami is definitely in reach, and we're just .001 behind CC in the decisive RPI.

cc is up 3-2 with 8 left...

[quote jy3]cc is up 3-2 with 8 left...[/quote]
... and it has been a great game to listen to, after returning from seeing Cornell on tv (Center City Phila., thank you Hillel :-) )
But I was surprised to hear that CC has scored few goals of late.
Atr this rate, I'd love for CC to play Cornell in an NCAA round.

[Jeff Hopkins '82]

As of 11:30, with a 3,2,1 Cornell is tied with Miami at #3.  Based on the comparison Miami gets 3 and we get 4, but I'll take that  :-P

Or as I said when I first ran the results...holy shit, we're a 1 seed!  ::banana::

[trainbow]

CC defeats North Dakota 3-2
First time in 2006 they scored 3 goals, their anouncers say.

CC's win is now incorporated into the PWR, so Cornell's brief hold on the CC comparison is flipped back over to the Tigers leaving Cornell alone in the 4 spot.

CC's RPI went from .5517 to .5561 with the win using the 33/22/11 model. Cornell ends the night at .5524.

An hour later, make that .5514, tied for third with Miami, bonus or no bonus.

[nyiballs]

Gotta love the stabilty of the system that moves us from out of the tourney to a #1 seed in one weekend.:-D

[French Rage]

Almost as important, given the instability of the PWR at times, our RPI is 5th.  Yes, it comes down to PWR in the end, but its ALOT easier to do well in the PWR when your PWR is helping you, not hurting you.

[jtwcornell91]

In the rating that makes sense but doesn't matter, we're up to #7.

Look at the top three.  It's very tight at the top of the KRACH.  ::twitch::

[jy3]

well lets hope sucks wins tomorrow. that will help them and the ecac. it could help them flip the comparison with us later...but Cornell will prevent that from happening with a win at lynah I hope. Of note, they win the tuc comparison which i thought was interesting.

First of all, thanks to all of you who really understand this stuff, and post the details for those of us who are interested. I'm especially aprreciative of the detailed posts by Ken, and the one in the past couple of days by Robb. Thanks guys.

But now on to my immediate question...

As the number four overall seed, why would we be in Worcester instead of Albany? I thought there was some "rule" about placing the number one seeds as close to home as possible. And while Albany may be mariginally closer than Massachusetts for whatever other school is being sent east (I haven't checked a map, and am somehwat geographically challeneged) Albany is significantly closer to Ithaca than Worcester is. So why wouldn't we wind up in Albany? What am I missing?

[redGrinch]

Well, on a similar note.... does anyone know the effect of having the ECAC host Albany with respect to ECAC teams going there?  Put another way, BU has to go to Worcester; UND would go to Grand Forks.  We if RPI were going, they'd be tied to Albany.  But what effect, if any does having the ECAC be a host have on teams placed there..... or is it strictly a money thing for the conference?
