"Team Under Consideration" is something of a technical term; the criterion of record vs TUCs is supposed to measure your record against "good" teams, so it wouldn't make sense to In addition, *any* conference champion (tournament or RS) is automatically a TUC, regardless of their record. (I know, this is a bit at odds with my last statement, but that's how it works.) If you name Merrimack or Harvard (or Cornell, who are sub-.500 now, but would end up with a winning record if they won the ECACs) as a tournament champion on the "You Are The Committee" starting form <http://www.slack.net/~whelan/tbrw.cgi?tourney>, the pairwise comparisons will be re-calculated with the new set of TUCs before proceeding. Here's how they look if Merrimack is included as a TUC (but with no additional game results included): 1 North Dakota 20 .620 MSBUMiCkBCOSNHYaCCWiSCMDNMMeNEMmRPMLPnMr 2 Mich State 19 .616 __ BUMiCkBCOSNHYaCCWiSCMDNMMeNEMmRPMLPnMr 3 Boston Univ 18 .595 ____ MiCkBCOSNHYaCCWiSCMDNMMeNEMmRPMLPnMr 4 Michigan 17 .587 ______ CkBCOSNHYaCCWiSCMDNMMeNEMmRPMLPnMr 5 Clarkson 15 .573 ________ BCOSNHYaCCWiSC__NMMeNEMmRPMLPnMr 6 Boston Coll 15 .578 __________ OSNHYaCCWiSCMDNMMeNEMmRPMLPnMr 7 Ohio State 14 .562 ____________ NHYaCCWiSCMDNMMeNEMmRPMLPnMr 8 New Hampshire 13 .560 ______________ YaCCWiSCMDNMMeNEMmRPMLPnMr 9 Yale 12 .557 ________________ CCWiSCMDNMMeNEMmRPMLPnMr 10 CO College 11 .549 __________________ WiSCMDNMMeNEMmRPMLPnMr 11 Wisconsin 10 .547 ____________________ SCMDNMMeNEMmRPMLPnMr 12 St Cloud 8 .538 ______________________ MDNMMeNEMmRPML__Mr 13 Minn-Duluth 8 .520 ________Ck______________ NM__NEMmRPMLPnMr 14 Northern Mich 7 .529 __________________________ MeNEMmRPMLPnMr 15 Maine 7 .524 ________________________MD__ NEMmRPMLPnMr 16 Northeastern 4 .520 ______________________________ MmRP__PnMr 17 Miami 4 .517 ________________________________ RPMLPnMr 18 RPI 3 .501 __________________________________ MLPnMr 19 Mass-Lowell 3 .508 ______________________________NE____ PnMr 20 Princeton 2 .496 ______________________SC______________ Mr 21 Merrimack 0 .443 ________________________________________ UNH-Wisconsin and Princeton-St. Cloud are the comparisons which flip.
