Re: 2017 Pairwise thread
Well, let's crank this up with a few games left to be finished:
Duluth vs Miami.....in OT
Denver leading CC
BSU....in OT
AFA....leading comfortably.
NoDak leading SCSU 4-2 with 7:00 to play.
Current PWR:
#1s: Denver, Duluth, Harvard, Minnesota
#2s: WestMich, BU, Union, Lowell
#3s: Penn St, NoDame, Prov, NoDak (and this will not change if NoDak prevails tonight)
#4s: Cornell, Ohio State, AHA and WCHA Champs. (AFA still with a chance at an at-large.....)
Minnesota would go east, and the #1 v #4 would need no tweaking: Denver vs AQ2, Duluth vs AQ1, Harvard vs OSU, Minnesota vs Cornell
NoDak would stay in Fargo and would play one of BU, Union, UML; West Mich would play either PSU or NoDame in Cincinnati, and the rest would fit together any number of ways, depending on the committee's particular bias.
Western Mich needs to win 2 in a row over Omaha to have a chance to regain their #1 seed from Minnesota. The difference in schedule means that WMU likely still controls its own destiny, however.
And, even though NoDak is apparently going to win tonight, 2 losses tomorrow and Sunday to SCSU could still leave them out.
