I've got a longer response to an earlier message "in production", but a quick response to Terry's latest: > The 5 March > PWR ranked Niagara # 9. Their tournament performance demonstrated that the > ranking was about correct. Are you telling me you've been basing all of your conclusions on the PWR from March 5th? There were two more weekends of results after that, and the pairwise comparisons the committee used were based on those results. In the final, March 19, PWR, available for example at <http://www.slack.net/~whelan/cgi-bin/tbrw.cgi?rankings> or <http://www.uscollegehockey.com/rankings/19992000/pwr.cgi>, Niagara was #5, which the selection committee themselves apparently did not believe, or they would have seeded Niagara above Michigan State and Boston College.
