Northeastern, by defeating Mass-Lowell last night, not only reversed their comparisons with Miami and St. Cloud (and RPI) to move into position for the last place in the NCAA tournament, but also knocked UML back down from the ranks of Teams Under Consideration. On top of that, Clarkson won, UNH lost and Yale tied, and that moved Clarkson back into position for the second Eastern bye: Team lPWR RPI Comps Won 1 Boston Univ 5 .607 CkBCNHYaNE 2 Clarkson 4 .572 BCNHYaNE 3 Boston Coll 3 .578 __ NHYaNE 4 New Hampshire 2 .567 ____ YaNE 5 Yale 1 .560 ______ NE 6 NorthEastern 0 .527 ________ Note that for once the comparisons are completely transitive. This is true for the entire top twelve: each of them wins comparisons with every team below them in the PWR. This means that with the current numbers, using the total PWR is just the same as going by individual comparisons.
