          This, and BU got a bit of SOS bump for playing #22 PWR NU for 2 games instead of #39 PWR UNH for 3 games. No idea of the effect, I'll leave that to the mathematicians.

            Playing with the YATC tool and reading the PWR thread, the consensus seems to be in most scenarios, if BU wins two and Western Michigan doesn't win two, we're the last 1 seed. That would require WMU running through Denver and Duluth, so if they can do that they deserve the one seed.

              On the optimistic side, I can get BU as the #4 overall seed on a number of scenarios if BU wins HEA tournament. I even got them to #4 overall with Minnesota winning the Big Ten and mostly favorites winning. http://pwp.uscho.com/rankings/pairwi..._58c604132121c

                I found one scenario where they tied with identical RPI to the fifth decimal place. Was not pleased that BU won that 5th decimal place...

                    Oh I don't believe so at all. My response was only pointing to someone on the boards who has a greater issue with grammar and language.

                      Minnesota winning does not get them over BU. I'm taking this from Numbers, but his line is this - WMU wins two, they get #4. If they don't, BU is next in line if they win two. If they don't, MN is next if they win two. After that, shrug. Of course there may be a scenario here or there where these don't hold true, but in most cases it does.

                        OK, I can accept that, I just saw Minnesota as the larger threat to take the #4 overall over BU. I don't believe that WMU will win 2. (watch it happen now) BTW, this isn't a prediction BU wins out also, just looking at the scenarios.

                        Even in that scenario I linked to with Minnesota and BU both winning out, BU is just .0006 above Minnesota in RPI so the margin is extremely close.

                        EDIT: I tried some scenarios to try to get MN over BU with both winning out and that 1st scenario I posted (with the .0006 win for BU) is the closest I can get so Numbers could very well be right.
