Bracketology for the NCAA tourney

[cbrooks]

It would be a shame if SCSU doesn't make it out of the WCHA. T

I'll post a predictor tomorrow and see where it all sits. Never fun to have your destiny in someone else's hands.

[cbrooks]

Bear covered the autobids above. here's the percentage for each WCHA team as I see it.

*correct me if their's a error please*

Wisconsin and CC game has more on the line than the Broadmoor. Whoever wins season continues, the other is done.

Denver is in, probably a #3 seed

SCSU is a bubble. They stand a 72.7% chance of making it. I'll see what scenarios that could eliminate them>

Mankato looks to be pretty safe with a 96.1% chance of making it.

UND is in. Looks to be a good chance of being a #2 seed, cool

Gophers are in and will be a #1 seed in there region

Taking a quick glance. If your SCSU you don't want any upsets, that will move a team below you up and pushing you out of the top 15(Atlantic conference takes a team remember). Finishing in the top 15 is what the aim is now. Here's the games to watch today for you SCSU fans.

Hockey East championship between Mass-lowell vs Boston U. You want Mass-Lowell in that game.

CCHA conf. is in the semis today. Here's the two games today.

Michigan vs Miami. You want Miami here

Ohio St vs notre Dame. You want Notre Dame here

For the ECAC conf

Yale vs Quinnipiac

Brown vs Union.

best case there is for Quinnipiac or yale to win. Just as long neither brown or Union win it all. Not sure if Union or brown are a lock depending on who wins between each other. Looks like it is. Could be wrong their

[cbrooks]

Its still confusing. All you want is no upsets to make it easier SCSU fans

[CaptainMusky]

The quinnipiac vs Yale game is the third place game. Brown vs union is championship so that conference will have quinnipiac AND either brown or union in the NCAA's.

[CaptainMusky]

The way it looks to me is that if BU wins SCSU is out. SCSU is a #13. The AHA winner will be lower then them. The brown vs union winner is lower than them and if BU wins they are lower than them as is the wcha winner. That's without the potential of a lower team winning ccha.

[cbrooks]

OK...makes sense and thanks for the correction on my assertion of a championship game tomorrow for the ECAC. So the CCHA has another championship game?

[CaptainMusky]

If you have a smart phone install the college hockey network app it will show you all matchups. The ccha semifinals start today with finals tomorrow. If Michigan or Ohio state wins that OR BU wins I am pretty sure SCSU is out.

The quinnipiac vs Yale game is the third place game. Brown vs union is championship so that conference will have quinnipiac AND either brown or union in the NCAA's.

Yep Brown vs Union is for the auto bid, Union is a bubble team at 14 so if they win it doesn't hurt at much but still hurts because that means Q and U and both in. Notre Dame took care of business.

4-0 Michigan right now, they might just win the CCHA and push another team out.

[Bear55]

Pretty much sums it, as of now.

[Bear55]

Well if the Gophers and Sioux can take care of business we get to see that final five matchup that never happened.

[cbrooks]

ohhh might have to do a bet bear

[cbrooks]

ESPN sucks and Go Sioux

[Bear55]

ohhh might have to do a bet bear

You know it!

[cbrooks]

wait and see. Might have to drink a little before I go down that road again

[cbrooks]

Western Michigan fans are livid...I'm on USCHO live blog right now. I guess they finish the year with only three losses. I guess you have to win when it counts is the lesson their. Tough deal

[Bear55]

WM is 16 in PWR, they don't even get in with the one auto bid from Atlantic. They also have 11 losses so I don't know what they are complaining about.

[cbrooks]

Oh really. huh, maybe I misunderstood *shrugs*. Their was more than one, oh well.

[cbrooks]

IF SCSU didn't get in that would have been bad. I think they have to be one of the best teams this year

[fishing tech]

So, you have 6 wcha teams playing in 3 regions. Apparently they did not want to take a chance and have 4 in the frozen 4.

oh don't say that. Some on hear would have you believe it isn't a setup.

I called und and mn in same regional. Two yrs in a row.

[yakfisher]

I guess Makato and St. Cloud weren't worth doing any research or mentioning on TV today, must not be nearly as good as Canisius.

FREE COLLEGE HOCKEY FROM THE OCHO!

ESPN and the NCAA Suck!

Go Sioux!

[CaptainMusky]

The NCAA and ESPN sweethearts are in the same regional but no wcha team. Quinnipiac and BC. Its setup so its not possible for 4 wcha teams to make it to the FF.
