We've reached the date where all of the teams have played two different opponents, and so the Pairwise can now be fully calculated!
My Pairwise calculator is live, and it is the only Pairwise on the internet that includes all of the eligible teams:
https://www.bcinterruption.com/bosto...ngs-calculator
I included a "switch" at the top of the calculator which will include or exclude the D1/D2 independents from the rankings. If you switch it "off," it will still include games against these teams, but it will basically do what the Pairwise did last year which is pretend they aren't eligible (i.e. any wins against top independents will not give a quality win bonus, and all 6 teams will be in 35th through 40th in the rankings with a 0.000 RPI).
Note though that the proper way to mirror the NCAA selection committee is to include all eligible teams, and then base the quality win bonus off that. So right now USCHO is giving a 1st place QWB for beating Wisconsin, but the committee confirmed that they are going to rank all eligible teams and then assign QWB off that. So since St. Anselm is currently in first, beating Wisconsin would give a 2nd place QWB, not 1st.
Here are my KRACH and GRaNT calculators.

And lastly, the question of how RPI awards its “Quality Wins Bonus” was worth addressing as well. If a team finished #1 in the RPI but was not selected for the tournament based on its “full body of work,” would a team that beat them still receive the 0.060 QWB associated with it, or would that team be removed from the RPI entirely?
Fraser confirmed the answer to this for us as well:

The data used to evaluate teams will not be altered based on which teams are selected to the field.
