Based on USCHO PWR, a Cornell win combined with certain other games could increase their PWR's won to 14!! 1. Cornell vs Denver RPI 0.5626 1 0.5548 0 L20 11- 5- 4 0 12- 6- 2 0 <=== 20th CU game was a tie, TUC 7- 6- 2 0 12- 9- 1 1 CU wins, this goes to 1-0 H2H 0 0 Cornell wins comparison, 2-2 COP 1- 3- 0 0 3- 0- 0 1 ============================================ PTS 1 2 2.

For all 5 of these to come true we would need the following: Cornell beats Clarkson Michigan beats Michigan State Boston U. beats New Hampshire The resulting rankings: new index old index team old won new won --------- --------- ---- ------- ------- 1 1 Michigan 20 20 2 4 North Dakota 17 18 3 2 Clarkson 19 18 4 3 Minnesota 17 17 5 12 Cornell 9 14 6 5 New Hampshire 15 14 7 6 Vermont 15 14 8 7 Maine 15 14 9 8 Boston University 13 13 10 9 Michigan State 12 11 11 10 Miami 11 10 12 11 Denver 10 9 13 13 Colorado College 9 9 14 14 St Cloud 7 7 15 15 Princeton 6 6 16 16 Rensselaer 5 5 As you wrote, though, they would still be seeded third, since BU would get the automatic bye. And who would've thought one game could do so much! - ken -- from: LTJG Kenneth A.
