Here's a hypothetical question for everyone. if the season ended today, and assuming that the league champs are: ECAC: Clarkson CCHA: Michigan WCHA: Colorado HE: BU or Maine and they all won their tourneys, what would the seedings be? If I used the same method as last years comittee did, then i get the following listings according to the RPICH: East West 1 BU Michigan 2 Maine Colorado College 3 UNH Minnesota 4 Clarkson Michigan State 5 Northeastern Denver 6 Princeton Bowling Green This is based upon two things. 1) The RPICH ranking as of this week 2) The fact that 2 teams from each conference MUST go Therefore, Princeton (13) knocks out Wisconsin (12). Switch the 5 and 6 teams and then reseed. You get: Worcester Madison 1 BU Michigan 2 Maine Colorado College 3 UNH Minnesota 4 Clarkson Northeastern 5 Denver Michigan State 6 Bowling Green Princeton So the matchups you get are: UNH v. BG Clarkson v. Denver Minn v. Princeton NE v. MSU Now my biggest question concerning this is: Is this is indeed the case, that since 2 teams MUST go from each conference Wisconsin, as of today, would get the boot? Is that how it works this year? And also, could you popssibly even boot Wisconsin because one of the regional sites is Madison? Just thought this was interesting question to pose. ***************************************************************************** * Jayson Moy RPI '89 '93 * One of the Voices of Rensselaer Engineer * * [log in to unmask] * Hockey, Baseball, Football, and Basketball * * The "Asian Invasion" * on Crystal Clear 91.5FM WRPI, Troy *EASM* * *****************************************************************************
