presuming no ties in the 3 consolation games, there are 256 scenarios
for tomorrow's games. I have a shell script that generates the PWR
statistics for each scenario, and then counts how many times a team
finishes in different positions. That table is reproduced below.
There are at least 3 teams (ECAC champ, Atlantic Hockey Champ and
Niagara) that are not high in the PWRs who will get automatic bids.
Umass will get an automatic bid if they win Hockey East tomorrow.
Unfortunately, I can't tell you how many of those 128 scenarios
have each of three bubble teams finishing 13th
team 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16
