        If you've ever been to a regional for bb, it is almost never full. Only the bottom few rows, unless it is in NC.

              CHN simulated the conference tournaments a few hundred times and got Union as the #3 overall seed 100% of the time. So...

              #1 Minnesota or Boston College
              #2 Boston College or Minnesota
              #3 Union
              #4 Wisconsin, St Cloud, Ferris State, Quinnipiac, Lowell, Notre Dame, North Dakota

              I don't believe anyone from Providence down has a chance at the final #1 seed.

              Unless Yale ends up as a hosting 4 seed, Union will be #1 in Bridgeport. Boston College will be #1 in Worcester. Minnesota will be #1 in St Paul. One of the seven teams listed above will be the top seed in Cincinnati.

              Eliminated:
              Alabama-Huntsville
              AIC
              Army
              Boston University
              Brown
              Harvard
              Lake Superior
              Massachusetts
              Merrimack
              Princeton
              Rensselaer
              RIT
              Sacred Heart

              Should be safe:
              Minnesota
              Boston College
              Union
              Wisconsin
              St Cloud
              Ferris State
              Quinnipiac
              Lowell
              Notre Dame

              In with a sweep this weekend:
              North Dakota
              Providence
              Vermont

              Can play their way in without autobid:
              North Dakota
              Providence
              Vermont
              Cornell
              Michigan
              Northeastern
              Colgate
              Minnesota State
              Yale
              Minnesota-Duluth

              I don't see anyone else getting in without the autobid. Even Duluth is an outside shot. Yale sweeps this weekend and they could move all the way up to 12.

              Now Jim Dahl will come in with his supercomputers and tell me what I screwed up

                  I would think northeastern would be in with a sweep , furthermore a UNH sweep and semi final win , they should be in .

                    #2 Boston College or Minnesota
                    To address simply this part:
                    Minnesota has a h2h win over BC. Therefore, regardless of RPI, Minnesota needs only to win CommOpp to win this compare, and the #1 overall. Michigan (Minny's opponent this week) and NotreDame (BC's opponent) are both CommOpp.

                    From Minnesota's standpoint:
                    If BC sweeps, Minnesota clinches the #1 (meaning regardless of the conference final weekend) with a sweep
                    If BC wins 2 of 3, Minnesota clinches with a win and a tie
                    If ND wins 2 of 3, Minnesota clinches with just one tie
                    If ND sweeps, Minnesota clinches by showing up.

                      A sweep doesn't quite do it for Northeastern. It would put them close, but if the cut line moves or they lose that Friday, they can fall out.

                      New Hampshire likely needs the autobid. A sweep this weekend only takes them to #18.

                            I did play around with the simulator but only could just change the team you clicked on , is that all this thing allows you to do . I went into modify game results finished entering in wins and loses for all the teams than hit submit but nothing happens . only when I selected on a certain team in the drop down box did it give me the desired results.

                              Oh great, you broke it

                              For some reason it will only work for one team at a time right now...it was working earlier. I'll let them know it's broken.
